Title: Little Norway in Pictures - R.N. A.F. [Royal Norwegian Air Force] in Canada: With Supplement 'Norway - Yesterday and Today'
Description: Toronto: S. J. Reginald Saunders Publishers, 1943. First Edition. Hardcover. The first 32 pages serve as an introduction to the Norway of today and yesterday, accompanied by many black and white photos. The remaining 92 pages describe the history of "Little Norway", established in Canada around the Toronto Island Airport shortly after Germany occupied Norway in WWII. Profusely illustrated with black and white photos, we see and read how Norwegian military forces were trained and lived in Canada. Includes names and photos of the Norwegian leaders of this project, four photos of the Muskoka aerodrome opened by Crown Prince Olav on May 4th, 1942, photos of V.I.P. visitors, headshot photos of dozens of unidentified headquarters staff members, and an aerial photo of "Little Norway", a completely modern military camp. Undated but appears to be circa 1943. Text in English. Very heavily worn with many military library markings and binding issues. Spine taped. Oblong 12" x 9.25". Not pretty but a worthy reference copy of this important facet of Norwegian and Canadian WWII history. Cooke (3rd Edn) p.343. ; 8vo. Poor .
