WW2 Canadian RCAF Galt Aircraft School Trainees Rigging Division Postcard

This World War II-era postcard originates from the Galt Aircraft School, operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) in Galt, Ontario, Canada. The postcard specifically references the Rigging Division, which was responsible for the assembly and maintenance of aircraft structures and systems related to flight control surfaces and framework. Trainees depicted or mentioned on the postcard were enrolled in specialized courses as part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, a pivotal program that supplied skilled aircrew and ground support personnel to the Allied war effort. The postcard often served as a memento or means of communication for students attending the school. Typical features include printed or handwritten inscriptions, period-appropriate photographic or graphic imagery, and official RCAF or institution markings. This artifact provides insight into wartime training infrastructure and the role of technical education within the RCAF during the Second World War.
