Kiwi Airmen at Fort York Although Fort York was a popular attraction for airmen quartered nearby at the CNE during the Second World War, photos of aircrew trainees visiting the fort are rare. Here LAC R.B. Vernazoni (second from left) and fellow trainees from the Royal New Zealand Air Force pose for a photograph atop the south wall of the fort in April 1942. Visible are the Blue Barracks and the gasholder near Front and Bathurst Streets (left), and possibly the Bank of Commerce building in the distance (right). Vernazoni was later killed on operations over Europe in 1943. Credit: Gareth Newfield
