Period
Second World War
Canada
The log book belonged to the donor's father, who was a Flying Officer with the RCAF. RCAF Station Alliford Bay was established in May 1940 as the new home for bomber reconnaissance squadrons of the RCAF. Bomber reconnaissance squadrons were RCAF maritime patrol units, equipped with long range aircrafts that patrolled sea lanes on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Le journal appartenait au père du donateur qui était un "Flying Officer" dans l'Aviation royale canadienne. La station Alliford Bay a été établi en mai 1940 en tant que nouvelle station pour les escadrons d'avions de reconnaissances de l'ARC. Ces escadrons étaient en charge de la patrouille maritime, équipé avec des aéronefs à longue distance pour surveiller voies maritimes sur les côtes Atlantiques et Pacifiques.
Function
The log book was used to provide a daily record of the flying activities of a Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) pilot during the Second World War, i.e. aircraft types, name of pilot and passengers if any, type of flight, length of flight. Le journal était utilisé pour enregistrer des données quotidiennes des activités aériennes d'un pilote de l'Aviation royale canadienne (ARC) lors de la Seconde guerre mondiale. Par exemple, le type d'aéronef, nom du pilote et noms des passagers, ainsi que le type d'envoler et sa durée.
Technical
One might argue that the log book does not have much in the way of of technical context. However, its creation is linked to the growth of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) during the Second World War and the role it played in the defending Canada's coastlines. As the RCAF grew, new bases were created in outlying regions of the country. RCAF Station Alliford Bay was one such base. Le journal en tant que tel n'a pas de contexte technique. Par contre, le journal est lié à la croissance de l'Aviation royale canadienne lors de la Seconde guerre mondiale et son rôle dans la défense des côtes canadiennes. Une fois que l'ARC s'est agrandi, des nouvelles bases ont été créé à certains endroits périphériques au Canada. La station Alliford Bay en est un exemple.

The center of the cover of the book has white stains, presumably due to humidity stains.

La couverture bleue sur la couverture du livre à déteint à certains endroits. Le dos du livre a aussi de l'usure normale et de la décoloration. Le centre de la couverture a des taches blanches, probablement en raison d'humidité.
