| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Gander, Newfoundland occupied a singular position in transatlantic aviation history — its airport served as the last refueling stop before Europe for Allied aircraft during the Second World War, including the B-24 Liberator, which flew anti-submarine patrols over the North Atlantic from nearby bases. The Chamber of Commerce issued this dollar as part of a broader Canadian trade dollar movement that peaked in the 1970s and 80s, with hundreds of municipalities commissioning locally themed pieces for use at chamber-affiliated merchants.
The B-24 subject is not arbitrary nostalgia. RAF Ferry Command and USAAF crews transited Gander by the thousands, and several Liberators were lost in the North Atlantic fog within miles of the airfield.
