  • CA AARN aarn-2211
  • Fonds
  • 1957-1992

Major Jackie Brewe was interviewed by Jocelyne Thibault-Prevost as an assignment for the University of Alberta course Nursing 550, Dr. Shirley Stinson, instructor. The interview took place in Ottawa on November 19, 1992 and comprises 3 audiotapes for a total of 4 hours, 6 minutes. Major Jackie Brewe describes her family and early life and her decision to join the RCAF after nursing school. She discussed the relationships and lines of command with medical staff, nursing staff, aircrew and ground-based officers. She describes the types of aircraft used for medical missions, the improvisations in equipment and facilities that had to be made, because no aircraft are specifically designated for Aeromedical Evacuation. She has been Staff Nurse in the Base Hospital at CFB Greenwood, Senior Flight Nurse with 413 Squadron (setting up the Aeromedevac service, including teaching, supervising and "check-riding" the nurses and medical assistants), and at some bases, School Nurse for the children of Base residents. In 1978 Major Brewe was posted to CFHE Lahr, West Germany, where she was Head Nurse of the Medical/ICU/Psychiatric Ward. A secondary duty was OIC for all Aeromedevac equipment. Her most memorable experiences are described; the most trying for Major Brewe were the emergency or mercy missions involving sick children. A summary of major Brewe's biography is included with the transcript of her interview. The textual materials include AIRMEDEVAC procedure manuals, samples of air logs, 2 photographs of staff and Major Brewe receiving her USAF wing, and copies of published articles and press clippings describing the work of AIRMEDEVAC.
