| Aanvullende informatie |
Gander, Newfoundland served as a critical transatlantic refueling stop from the 1930s onward, and the Lancaster bomber — built by Avro Canada and its British parent — flew those routes in both wartime and early postwar configurations. The town's Chamber of Commerce issued a series of trade dollars through the late 1980s and 1990s celebrating this aviation heritage, each tied to a specific aircraft type associated with the airport's history.
Gander Airport was the last landfall for eastbound transatlantic flights for decades, making it the final Canadian soil touched by crews departing for Europe during the Second World War.
