Hedley (Ted) Charles Cornick Goodyear chose to leave his university studies at Mount Allison University to enlist in the Royal Canadian Air Force (R.C.A.F.), following the lead of his older brother Ray. 'Dear Flo, Letters From a Pilot' includes all of the letters that were received by his mother Florence (Flo) between 1941-1944. These letters offer a rare glimpse into the day-to-day life of the pilots who trained on and flew fighter/bombers during the Second World War. They also offer insight into the risks, triumphs and resilience of all those Ted Goodyear met, both before departing for England and while stationed overseas.

Birchtown and the Black Loyalist experience : from 1775 to the present / by Stephen Davidson ; photography by Peter Zwicker. Halifax : Formac Publishing Company Limited, 2019. 88 pages : illustrations (some color), 1 color map, color portraits, 1 color coat of arms ; 23 cm.

The experiences of Black Loyalist refugees escaping the American Revolution, based on artefacts and displays at the Birchtown Black Loyalist Centre in Nova Scotia. This book chronicles experiences of African Americans who were part of the influx of Loyalist refugees from the American Revolution. The Black Loyalists were both freed and enslaved Black Americans who had joined the British side. For their loyalty, they were evacuated by the British Navy to Nova Scotia, where they were to receive freedom, land, and provisions. The Black Loyalists landed at a settlement named Birchtown, adjoining the white Loyalist town of Shelburne. On arrival they found virtually no shelter. Many died and others only survived by digging small holes in the ground and fixing logs over top for makeshift huts. Food was extremely scarce. White Loyalists quickly received their land and provisions. It was years before the Black Loyalists received their land grants, and not everyone got a plot. The lands provided proved to be rocky and hard to cultivate. Ultimately many Black Loyalists chose to leave Nova Scotia to go to Sierra Leone, West Africa, founding a new settlement there. Others remained, and their descendants are found in communities across Nova Scotia and beyond. Through images, artifacts, and text, this book tells the story of Birchtown and its residents as well as the larger story of Black Loyalist history, reflecting the research and exhibits in the Black Loyalist Heritage Centre in Birchtown. Includes bibliographical references (page 86) and index.
