Description

Gander, Newfoundland, is a rare example of a town that emerged after its airport. Opened in 1939, the airport played a crucial role in World War II, reportedly becoming the world's largest multinational military base. Immediately after the war, a new town developed, with residents initially living in renovated military structures on airport grounds. As commercial transatlantic aviation flourished, the town was relocated a short distance away and officially opened in 1959. This book captures the unique lifestyle that grew within this aviation-centric, isolated Newfoundland community. Blending history and memoir, it details the buildings of the old town, complete with photos and maps, offering a vivid glimpse into the lives of its residents. It also shares untold stories from the original town of Gander, which thrived at the edge of the runways of a bustling international airport.
