Admission by donation. 

A new wartime novel, Bird's Eye View, by journalist Elinor Florence explores
the little-known topic of aerial photographic interpretation, and tells the
story through Canadian eyes. Bird's Eye View is about a young woman from the
prairies whose home town becomes an air training base. Fired with
patriotism, she joins the air force herself - one of 50,000 Canadian women
who enlisted to support the fighting men. Rose Jolliffe sails overseas to
England and becomes an interpreter of aerial photographs, spying on the
enemy from the sky, searching out camouflaged munitions factories and bomb
targets on the continent. She keeps in touch with the home front through
frequent letters from her mother. And throughout the war, she has a bird's
eye view of the Canadian experience - at Dieppe, in the skies over Germany,
on the beaches of Normandy -- and finally, when our country shared in the
Allied victory.
