    Biographical history

    John Lionel Patterson (1908-1998) was born in Ontario and moved with his family to Vancouver in the early 1920s. He worked as a radio installer and repairman for Mc & Mc in Vancouver. At the outbreak of WW2, Mr. Patterson joined the Boundary Bay Flying Training Co. Ltd., a civilian company contracted to train pilots at No. 18, E.F.T.S. (Elementary Flying Training School) at the newly built R.C.A.F. Station at Boundary Bay. His jobs were radio training for the pilots and maintaining the Link Trainer. Lionel and his wife Bertha Muriel (nee Glasser) rented a cottage in Beach Grove, where their son John Lionel Keith was born in 1941. Mr. Patterson continued to work for the flying training school when it moved to Caron, Sask., in 1942. He then worked for Boeing Aircraft Co. at Sea Island and Seattle.

    Custodial history

    Scope and content

    The collection consists of photographs, manuals, and ephemera created or received by John Lionel Patterson during the Second World War while he was working at the flying training schools at Boundary Bay, B.C., and Caron, Sask., and later for Boeing Aircraft Co. in Seattle. The photographs, taken by Mr. Patterson, document the opening of the airport and flying training school at Boundary Bay, detail aspects of pilot training on the Link Trainer and in Tiger Moth airplanes, and show friends, coworkers and family during the two years at Boundary Bay. Manuals in the collection include the course outline for the flying training school, and operating instructions for the Link Trainer. The collection also includes an August 1942 volume of the "The Moth Monthly", an invitation to the official opening of No. 18, E.F.T.S., and a menu from the banquet for the first graduating class from No. 18, E.F.T.S.
