Wondering what kind of books are in our library? Here are the major collections in our library

We have more than 600 books in this category. Many of the books are about World War II military aircraft and are classified according to aircraft type (ie. fighter, bomber, trainer, transport, or reconnaissance).

The Library's collection of books and manuals about power plants covers many specific power plants, classified by manufacturer and mode.

Our collection of Maintenance manuals supports our restoration projects. The manuals cover overall maintenance, specific aircraft and aircraft parts. Many of the manuals relate to Canadian aircraft not represented at the Museum.

A large part of our collection is related to aircraft performance and operations. The collection also includes many pilot operating instructions and aircraft safety manuals.

Many of our research requests relate to Canadian military operations and organizations. This collection is the source for many of our research responses.

This collection relates mostly to the Canadian Armed Forces and Squadrons during WWII. Once again this collection is a valuable resource for us. Half of this collection consists of Biographies and autobiographies, mostly of World War II personalities. Training manuals are also a large part of this collection.

Our collection of history books relates mostly to World War II. Some of the history books are from the period immediately after the war, preserving the way history was viewed 50 years ago. This collection is a valuable resource to students and researchers who are interested in Canadian Military History.

The periodicals are classified in the library as Canadian, British or American. Many are from the war years.
