Federal and provincial government departments used the aircraft based here for civil roles such as anti-smuggling, fishery, and forestry patrols, and transportation to remote communities. The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) took over Jericho Beach in 1924, and the station was renamed "RCAF Station Jericho Beach." No. 4 and No. 6 Bomber Reconnaissance Squadrons, and No. 1 Signal Squadron began operating from the station. In 1930, the RCAF used Jericho Beach as their centre for seaplane and flying boat training. By 1940, the seaplane squadrons had moved to RCAF Station Sea Island, and No. 3 Operational Training Unit (OTU) began operations, training aircrew on flying boats. No. 3 Repair Depot was also established in 1940, and along with No. 3 OTU, would remain until 1945.In 1942 the army's Pacific Command Headquarters moved to Jericho Beach, and in 1947, the army took control of the station. There remained, however, a small RCAF presence. Over the years, the station hosted many other army and Canadian Forces units. Most of the base facilities were transferred to the City of Vancouver in 1969, and the area renamed "Jericho Park." Jericho Beach detachment was closed in 1996. Most of the base's buildings, including the old flying boat hangars, have been taken down. The few that remain and are being used for non-military purposes." (Wikipedia)".

Paperback. Condition: Fine. Second Printing. 288 pages. Dozens of archival black and white illustrations. "Concentrating on the history of the Air Station at Jericho Beach, the author explores the unique circumstances that drove flying boat operations on the west coast. He chronicles the activities conducted by the fledgling Canadian Air Force, and , after 1 April 1924, the permanent Royal Canadian Air Force. The picture he weaves is one where a handful of men, in a few outdated and underpowered machines, establish a legacy of perseverance, ingenuity and dedication undertaking missions which would not be out of place in today's headlines. Among the first in the world to fly such missions as fisheries, forestry and anti-narcotic patrols, these individuals provided peace-time support for Canadaa while still maintaining a military capability that would prove invaluable in the Second World War." - From Foreward by A.M. DeQuetteville, Air Command. Gift greetings atop half-title page else clean, bright and unmarked with very light wear. Excellent copy. Signed by Author(s).
