Crossroads of the World recounts tales of heroic airmen and moments of historic importance surrounding the airport town of Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador. Since 1936, when Gander’s airport was built, Newfoundland has welcomed countless great men and women to her shores. Long before the events of 9/11, Gander resident Roderick B. Goff was employed as an airline flight dispatcher in the airport town and met many of those celebrated people between touchdown and takeoff. His personal experiences during his aviation career are contained here, stories which include the famous flight of the seven Hudson aircraft, the tragedy of Dr. Frederick Banting’s fatal crash landing, Joseph R. Smallwood’s work in Gander during World War II, and even a visit from British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill.
