Canada, British North America Military & War History Resources More Canadian & British North America Military Resources BOOK - Documenting Your First World War Royal Flying Corps and Second World War Canadian Air Force Ancestors By Kenneth Cox Published by Global Heritage Press, Carleton Place, 2022
![]() It is a hoped by reading beyond the documents a researcher will come away with an understanding of what the terms ‘bogey’, ‘buster’, ‘duf/gen’, ‘gong’, ‘prang’, ‘sprog’, ‘erk’, ‘rhubarb’, ‘getting the chop’ or ‘buying the farm’ meant to our ancestors or what the abbreviations, ‘AC2’, ‘O’, ‘W.O’. ,’A.G’., ‘B’. or ‘E’. stood for on that half-wing worn over the left breast pocket in that old photograph. The family historian will also come to learn what the designation ‘P/O’, ‘S/P’, ‘F/O’ meant to our ancestors when those abbreviations appeared on their service documents and beside their name. For those of us with air force ancestors who actually served as aircrew, you may learn that life in fighter or bomber command could be short. Those air force ancestors who served and returned alive were the lucky or skilled ones. The pdf of this book is provided in high definition, including front and back covers, suitable for printing your own physical copy in 8 1/2" x 11" format. Contents include:
