SI-ILECTION OF SKIES FOB NEW AEROUROMES

As shown In the preceding para- graph. existing ufrpotts could take care of about. one-half of the OflBlhB-l programme. New sites must. therefore, be found for the re- mainder. Time pressed. October . was already half gone and the ad- | vent of stiow WOIIICI increase the ‘dlI-IICUIIY of making reliable sur- ,vc_\"s. Fteld parties were, there- fcte, organized as quickly as pos- sible in the three Prairie Provinces, Southern Ontario and Quebec, and the Maritime Provinces. to find all the new sites required before the \VlIl'.€I‘ set. In. These parties con- .:Istcd of an Airway" Inspector, an AITIYII)’ Engineer. both experienced in the location and construction of aercdrcmes, and an R C.A.F. Of- ficer

The selection of aerodrome sites even in the Prairie Provinces and In good agrlcultural land 1s not an ‘easy task. Good drainage ls the first essential. All approaches to the acroclromes must be clear of obstructions. The ordinary amenit- ies of civilization are very neces- sarv near these schools. They must. IlILCfOFE, be easy of access by road or rail to son":- ncrrby centre of tmpulaton. Ample water proximity to a reliable power sup- ply and to good road building ma- terial are also essentials.

flit- training plan provided for four scparcuc Training Commands, two in Western Canada and two in Eastern Canada. It. was desu-able that the whole progremm should be divided between these four Cotitmands as equally as circum- stances permitted. On other grounds 1t was desirdable that the activities of the training plan should be as vvicespread as the physical char- actor and climate of the Domin- ion permitted.

In the Prairie Provinces the clim- ate and terrain yvere particularly" suitable for a plan of Lhls kind. WGSlEIII Camida could have accom- modai/cd the who: programme. if thts had been necessary The un- certainty of water supply and nit- IIClULy of growing good tut-r were handicaps as we: as its distance from the main centres of popu- lation anu industry. The endeavour has been to secure. to all parts of tfze country. the benefits arising front the large expenditures in- volved In building aerodromes for the training plan. Every effort has been mace as well, in the location of the new aerodromes. to ensure that they will be of some use in the post war period and will serve the peace time needs of our grow- mg (‘Wlhalf transportation system. tM-itv. Fig. 3. Location of Flying Training Schools).

l The titan of operation of the sur- ‘vs-y parties was to study in the office the topographical maps available of eacn district and mark on them the locations where a level area of nproxunately one square [nule could be obtained. A re- Cﬂllllfiléstlflce was then made from air of such areas. nothing particu- larly the approaches to the site,

and indications of drainage so as to avoid swampy and low tying areas. After this reconnaissance an caatnitiatioti on foot was made of tne‘ apparently suitable sites and ptcnrntttafw" Investigation reports of atcse _tvere prepared. (A sample 101111 1h attached showing the In- formation required). These survey reports tverethen forwarded to OL- taua by air mall for discussion with the Air 'I‘raI"nIng Command. The Itnost favourable were then ap-

A recomiaxtsance was made of ap- Droximatcly 2000 sites. survey re. ports were filed of over 200 and lotimgraphfcal surveys were made of about 150 sites. It is safe to say vie know the locauon of practically eycry suitable aeroorome site tn thewtfstrlcts covered.

It was essenhfal. If real progress was to be made during m; Sum. season o I940. that detailed engineering surveys of the sites required durlng 1940 and 1941 should be nvallable In the Ot- ‘ b by the end of 1939.
