The Theme of the Community Stories exhibit for the North Atlantic Aviation Museum is Gander’s rich aviation history. The exhibit includes personal reminiscences of Gander’s early days (pre-WWII), activities during the War, and changes in aviation during the 1950’s and 1960’s. Also included are colour and black and white photos (some of which were stamped “SECRET” during the War and have heretofore never been viewed) and newspaper clippings. Events covered include the story of Newfoundland’s first female pilot, the success of Eastern Provincial Airways, airplane crashes, and a sampling of some of the many aircraft types to travel through Gander International Airport.
