Billy Bishop: WW 1 Ace
Nieuport: Franskbygget, mye brukt fly i flere varianter i 1. verdenskrig. (Red.)
1940s[edit]
During World War II, many government facilities were used for military purposes, and the island airport became a military training base. In 1940, the Norwegian Government in-exile made arrangements to use the island airport as a training facility for the Royal Norwegian Air Force (RNAF), using airplanes ordered from the United States prior to war breaking out. The facility was named "Little Norway". Barracks were built nearby on the mainland at the foot of Bathurst Street.[21] In 1943, the Norwegians moved to an existing camp at Muskoka, Ontario for their training.[22] The barracks became emergency housing after the war, and were eventually demolished in 1957.[23] The nearby 'Little Norway Park' is named in remembrance of the Norwegian community around the airport. The airport was turned over to the Royal Canadian Air Force for the duration of the war. It was the headquarters for No. 1 Training Command, training pilots on Harvard trainers. It was also used by 124 Ferry Squadron as a waypoint for transporting planes around the country.[24]
