[Vintage Wings of Canada] Letters from Home

Forwarded message - De : Vintage Wings of Canada

Letters from Home Ladies and Gentlemen Aviators These are indeed troubled days. But there were recent times of equal or greater stress around the globe.  Families of servicemen and women in the Second World War felt the daily uncertainty of the future—especially in Europe. In those days, as is it today, the antidote was to stay connected through the mail. In the days ahead, we thought you might enjoy a few reprises of some our favourite stories of the past—something to read to keep perspective. Inspiration can be found in the courage of these men and women.
