Canadian Naval Air Remembers (CANAR)
Canadian Naval Air Remembers,
**NEW BOOK AVAILABLE**
Canadians first served in naval air in 1914 marking this year as its 110th Anniversary – a fitting time by which to produce a commemorative and celebratory book. The variety of naval, Canadian Armed Forces, and air force personnel who carried and continue to carry that torch provides a peek into the history and politics of Canada’s National Defence. Currently, book availability is being planned for Remembrance Day, 11 November 2024. The book is $40.00, including GST, and can be ordered by calling 902-720-1083, or by emailing curator@shearwateraviationmuseum.ca. Drop in customers to the gift shop can also pick up a copy, although the museum exhibits remain closed as we are currently reassembling the museum after a year of renovations.
Proceeds from the sale of the book will contribute much needed funding for a commemorative exhibit to be installed at SAM.
Thank you again for your interest in and support of naval air and this project to remember those to whom we – and all Canadians – owe so much. We are very proud of the role each individual and unit played in Canada’s naval air history.
Sincerely,
Jack
