This is the story of the Royal Air Force training base in Medicine Hat during WWII. This base was located at the site of the current Regional Airport. 2000 pilots were trained. 50 were killed in training accidents and are buried in the field of honour, Hillside Cemetary, behind the Cross of Sacrifice. This fascinating story of the gallant lives of our war heroes can be read about in the book Prairie Wings. https://djcarter.ca/books/prairie-wings
