In Plain Site: A Biography of the RAF Airbase at Caron , Saskatchewan - From, Joel L.

Clean, tight, unmarked; light crease to bottom back inside corner of cover; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; In Plain Site is the first life-cycle biography of a Second World War air training facility in Canada. It begins by locating the Royal Air Force (RAF) station at Caron, SK in the debates surrounding air training in Canada, the British commonwealth Air Training Plan, and the UK's plans to relocate its primary air training to Canada. It offers a detailed social and geographical history of the Caron site as well as the herculean efforts to acquire, erect, and continuously modify its facilities. Based on interviews as well as meticulous archival research in Canada and overseas, In Plain Site provides a comprehensive chronicle of Caron's air training operations, after-hours activities, supporting agencies, and the struggles of its RAF personnel to make sense of the Canadian prairies.
