This series consists of four typed letters collected by Fernando Vachon. One letter, written in 1971 by P.J. Moloney, a Urologist at Vancouver General Hospital, is perhaps related to Fernando Vachon’s contribution to the construction of a hemodialysis machine. One of the letters concerns an airlift crane write-up by Vachon and Kenneth G. Fraser in 1971, submitted to Boeing Aerospace Group, Vertol Division, in Pennsylvania. The remaining two letters are to do with Vachon’s retirement from CP Air in 1977.

This series consists of materials collected by Fernando Vachon in order to teach Aircraft Maintenance at PVI. These materials include published materials, such as books, periodicals, and handbooks, as well as non-published materials, such as handwritten notes, logbooks, flight schedules, technical drawings, organizational charts, cassette tapes, and photographs. The series contains two sub-subseries: Vachon collected published materials and Douglas DC-6 maintenance manual development materials.

This series consists of published materials primarily to do with aircraft design and maintenance, the majority of which were likely used by Fernando Vachon as reference for teaching Aircraft Maintenance at PVI. Included are teaching guides, periodicals, pamphlets, handbooks, workbooks, study guides, an aviation dictionary, and general works about aviation. While most of the books are labeled property of Vachon, a few appear to have been textbooks assigned to Vachon’s students.
