According to Herbert John Russell's artifact worksheet, such examples of pilot's licences, dated 1947, were the first issued by the government of Newfoundland, which was then a British Colony. Very few licences were ever issued as Newfoundland became a province of Canada in 1949. Prior to 1947, pilots flying in Newfoundland held a licence issued by either the U.K., Canada or U.S.A. (See Donor's worksheet in S.I.)

Function

Private pilot's licence issued to Herbert John Russell by the Department of Public Works, Civil Aviation Division, Newfoundland Government.
