Royal Flying Corps Hangars

The Royal Flying Corps hangars at Camp Borden are the oldest examples of this type of construction in existence in Canada. These hangars, which were an essential element of the first Canadian military aerodrome, were erected as temporary facilities in 1917, and housed various air training schools. They witnessed the birth of Canadas national air force, the Canadian Air Force in 1920, which became the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1924.
