Period
After 1942.
Canada
In 1939, Canada, Great Britain, New Zealand and Australia signed an agreement creating the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP). Located in Canada, the plan's mandate was to train Allied aircrews for the Second World War, including pilots, navigators, bomb aimers, wireless operators, air gunners and flight engineers. More than 130, 000 crewmen and women were trained between 1939 and 1945, making this one of Canada's great contributions to Allied victory in the war. It led United States President Franklin D Roosevelt to call Canada the "aerodome of democracy". No. 2 Service Flying Training School (SFTS) was one of the 30 or so advanced training schools based in Canada during the second World War. A fighter stream school, as compared to a bomber stream one, No. 2 SFTS was based at Royal Canadian Air Force Station Uplands, near Ottawa. It operated between August 1942 and April 1947. Therefore, this plaque covers some of the first weeks of operations of the school. En 1939, le Canada, la Grande-Bretagne, la Nouvelle-Zéalande et l'Australie ont signé une entente qui crée le Plan d'entraînement aérien du Commonwealth britannique. Situé au Canada, le mandat de cette entente est d'entrainer les équipages alliés durant la Seconde guerre mondiale, incluant les pilotes, navigateurs, viseurs de lance-bombes, radiotélégraphistes à terre, mitrailleurs de bord et mécanicien de bord. Plus de 130 000 membres d'équipage ont été entraînés en 1939 et 1945, faisans ceci une des plus grandes contributions canadiennes à la victoire des alliés lors de cette guerre. Le président américain de l'époque, Franklin D Roosevelt, a proclamé que le Canada était l'aérodrome de la démocratie. L'École No. 2 était une des trente écoles d'entrainement avancées basées à travers le Canada lors de la seconde guerre mondiale. Étant une école "fighter stream" et non "bomber stream", l'École de Pilotage des Forces canadiennes No. 2 était basée à la station de l'ARC Uplands à Ottawa. Cette base opérait entre août 1942 et avril 1947. Ceci dit, cette plaque représente les premières semaines de cette école en question.
Function
Commemorating the accomplishments of a Canada-based Service Flying Training School. Pour but de commémorer les accomplissements de l'École de Pilotage des Forces canadiennes.
Technical
This plaque does not hold much technical significance. However, its importance lies in the fact that it represents a very significant training school in the context of the second world war. Moreover, the fact that this plaque came from the training school situated in Uplands Ottawa adds even more significance. Cette plaque en tant que tel n'a pas grande importance technique. Cela dit, son importance est le fait que cette plaque représente une école d'entraînement très importante dans le cadre de la seconde guerre mondiale. De plus, le fait que cette plaque provient de l'école Uplands d'Ottawa rajoute encore plus d'importance.
