This fine silver collectable coin commemorates the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, one of the largest multinational aviation training programs in history. During the Second World War, much of the sky above Canada was alive with the sound of humming propellers. Every province except Newfoundland helped train more than 130,000 air cadets from Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, and other allied countries as pilots, radio operators, gunners, crew members, and flight engineers. The legacy of the BCATP still visible in the airfields and regional airports across the country
