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.
