ensure that when the time comes to return to normal peace conditions, as much as possible of the war eff ort and expenditure may be adapted to increasing the facilities for civil air transport in the Dominion. The aerodrome situation at any rate will be vastly improved. The size of all the main aerodromes on
the trans-Canada airway and its principal feeder lines has been increased. New hard surfaces have been added and many fuel hangars and other buildings have been built on the aerodromes. Some of these no doubt will still be required by the R.C.A.F. when the war is over, but much may be surplus to their requirements and can be made available for the expansion of our civil transport services. In addition, aerodromes have been built to serve many new districts. Speaking to a Montreal audience one naturally takes the local situation as an illustration of what is
happening in all parts of the country. St. Hubert, the old civil airport, will next summer be turned over to the R.C.A.F. and a new airport designed on modern lines and complete with all facilities will be ready for use by the civil air transport services. The new airport will, at the same time, accommodate an Air Observers and a Wireless school for the duration of the war”.

massive expansion of aviation and its supporting aerodromes and electronics equipment was due to in the fi rst place to the vision and initiative of the Honorable C.D. Howe. In both capacities he was head of services intimately connected with the war eff ort. As Minister of Transport he was responsible for the organization of the Trans-Canada aerodrome and navigation system,
which has been the basis of this aviation expansion program. Without which the rapid wartime aviation industry progress made would not have been possible. The quote above was found in some old papers, and really gives one the scale of the new aviation industry and its electronic support system in Canada. This expansion created a requirement for specialist technicians and AMEs. This soon led to even more specialization in a new fi eld — which was to become known as avionics. The foundation of the cross Canada aviation technical trade education system was built during these years as well. Toronto Central Tech had been around for most of the century, followed by places like the Southern Institute of Technology in Calgary. Gradually the system
