Queen of the Hurricanes, True Comics, 1942

During the Second World War, Elsie MacGill directed the Canadian production of the Hawker Hurricane fighter for the United Kingdom. Her staff of 4,500 produced more than 2,000 aircraft during the war.

This comic book is part of the Elsie Gregory MacGill Collection at the National Archives, which contains more than four metres of records. Classified under 25 subject headings, the records provide a rich source of information, both professional and personal, about this extraordinary Canadian.
