The contents of the letter feature updates on the future of the Air Force:
The demobilization of the RCAF Special Reserve is underway, with many personnel wanting their release. The RCAF was looking to replace those personnel who wish for their release with personnel who'd like to remain or return to the Air Force as a career.
A promise was made that Personnel transferred to the Reserve would be given the opportunity to enter the regular Air Force, which was being built up to discharge the responsibilities of the service until September 1947.
Interim Air Force opened enlistment to serving members and members of the General Section of the Reserve. Members who enlist in the Interim Air Force will be retained in the RCAF Regular Force when possible.
The letter encourages people considering re-engagement in the Air Force to consider the Interim Air Force and reference the attached information. According to the letter, the Regular Force conditions for service will be announced March 31st, 1946. The letter suggests that the pay and conditions of service will be favourable for a career in the Air Force.
The letter announces that applications for the Interim Air Force are open to ex-members of the service and encourages those to apply. The letter concludes by emphasizing that they are recruiting people who have a real desire for a career in the Air Force.
The letter includes the information and instructions, Conditions for Service, as well as the Application for Enlistment or Appointment in the RCAF Interim Air Force for Personnel Already Released from Service.
