Greatcoats and Glamour Boots
Author: Carolyn Gossage
Publisher: Dundurn
ISBN: 1550029134
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
Women in the military? To many, never was too soon. But by 1940, British women were out "doing their bit" for the war effort, and Canadians battled for that same right. Young Canadian women wanted to serve their country, "to free a man to fight," as the recruiting posters urged. By the war’s end almost 50,000 of them were in the forces. Carolyn Gossage has compiled a fascinating collage of anecdotal and documentary material. The colourful story of Canada’s "forgotten women" - those who volunteered for service during World War II in the RCAF Women’s division, the Canadian Women’s Army Corps (CWAC) and the Women’s Royal Canadian Naval Service (Wrens) - entertains and enlightens.

Cream of the Crop
Author: Allan Douglas English
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 9780773513983
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
A unique offering to military studies critiquing the effectiveness of the Royal Canadian Air Forces' aircrew preparations for war, a selection system and training program which became a modern model. English (war studies, Royal Military College of Canada) traces the development of aviation psychology and the treatment of psychological casualties in air combat, paying attention to the controversy of diagnosing aviators as "lacking moral fibre" and its effect on morale. By exploring these issues, the author includes the human dimension as an influence on air force effectiveness, as much as material and technological innovations. Includes some photographs. Canadian card order number C96-900371-4. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
