S.E.A.L. AVIATION
Engine fi tters and airframe riggers were the two dominant trades. Later, armament technicians became important as aircraft grew bigger and faster, and were loaded with more armament. Manufacturing fi rms tended to locate near larger centers like Toronto and Montreal for the ready supply of skilled labor. Many who served in the Royal Flying Corp. and later the Canadian Air Force went from there into civil aviation work after the war.
BETWEEN THE WARS Canada began aerially mapping of all its territory, some of which had never been mapped. Canadian commercial air routes multiplied and expanded. In the north and west, early resource exploration and fi re fi ghting began. The 1920s also saw the creation of the Royal Canadian Air Force and the fi rst Civil Aviation Authority located in the Air Force organization. The Federal Department of Transport (DOT) was created in 1936 (now Transport Canada). The DOT assumed the regulatory oversight of civil aviation and also took over the building of airports and navigation facilities. The government greatly assisted early air operators with the air mail contracts. This work eventually developed into the Trans-Canada fl ights staged along a new system of airway beacons and airports. The expansion of bush fl ying together with national
air routes supported a small manufacturing and maintenance industry base laying the foundation for great expansion during WWII. The pioneering Cross- Canada fl ights contributed greatly to the experienced aircrews for the Trans Atlantic ferry and cargo/passenger routes used so eff ectively in WWII. The brave bush pilots and their intrepid AMEs opened up the north to modern travel and communications during these times.
THE SECOND WORLD WAR Many of Canada’s largest maintenance facilities began during WWII and they continue in all parts of Canada today. They required technicians and AMEs. The need was fi lled by technical schools in many regions which eventually became today’s community colleges. Aeronautical research and development in Canada
was led, and still is, by the National Research Council’s aeronautical branch which built the necessary laboratories and wind tunnels. Electronics, electrics and instrumentation had (by 1940) advanced enough that WWII became known as an electronics war. Community colleges rushed to develop training courses for the now large electronics manufacturing and repair industry and to meet the demand for skilled technicians. The single greatest aviation achievement in Canada
