noun, a type of military aircraft used to train aircrews in Canada during the Second World War
“The Jones girls and Nancy rescued the pilot from a Harvard aircraft that was stationed in Norman Rogers.”
“There was a few people that they took away in a body bag from Wolfe Island, which was very sad, because they were low flying and being young and daredevils, they crashed in a Harvard. My husband taught on Harvards. And they’re very flammable airplanes.”
“There was guys from all over the world: Norway, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, England, all training there at Norman Rogers, and Harvard trainers. You’ve seen them, the yellow aircraft.”
“I remember the men being all excited one day. It was in the wintertime again, and apparently a trainer plane, Harvard trainer, had crashed out on the ice, just out in front of the Smith’s place. And they hooked up the team of horses, and everybody went out. There was my Uncle Tom, Len and my father, and they brought back a triangular piece of iron, or well not iron. It didn’t rust.”
