EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1949 takes us back to a postwar era in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The image showcases the Rockcliffe Air Force Base, where married airmen found their homes amidst an architectural marvel. Two figures stand in front of one such building, embodying the essence of family and community. A single mother stands tall with her daughter by her side, both dressed casually in overalls. The mother points up towards the sky as if sharing a moment of awe and wonder with her child. Perhaps they are admiring an aircraft soaring through the mid-air above them. The grassy footpath leading to their house symbolizes the freedom that comes with living on this base – a place where families can enjoy leisurely strolls and embrace outdoor activities together. Despite facing challenges as a single parent, this woman radiates strength and determination. The residential district surrounding them represents not only their home but also serves as a reminder of how these families have built their lives within this tight-knit urban community. This photograph captures the spirit of togetherness among these postwar residents who supported each other during uncertain times. Preserved by Underwood Archives from Universal Images Group (UIG), this archival print offers us a glimpse into history - reminding us of the resilience and unity that defined Ottawa's RCAF housing at Rockcliffe Air Force Base in 1949.
