Daily Diary – Links – No 3 Air Observer School
For a period between September 1942 and April 1943 there were plans to move No 3 Air Observer School to Pearce, Alberta. This plan was partially actioned and the school operated in both locations during this period. The plan was eventually scrapped and the school was reconsolidated at Regina. The Daily Diary for this period jumps back and forth between the locations each month, I have cataloged the first page for Pearce’s Daily Diary under the Pearce Alberta Page and the first page for Regina under the Regina Page.

The list likely does not include all fatalities of personnel who died while stationed at RCAF Station Regina, and likely includes some errors. Currently this list contains 12 personnel.
