About

From the eccentric Fairey Battle to the lethal-looking CF-18, from modern airliners that have no defects (and no character) to the classic North Star (which had both), here is the ultimate line-up of the aircraft that have served Canadians in the last century. With over one hundred photographs of fifty historic planes, Wings Across Canada is a retrospective of Canada's aeronautical technology. This book does not compare the planes, nor claim that all are "classics" in the traditional sense of the word. Instead, it is a celebration of a love affair with aircraft that all served a purpose in their own time.

Reviews

"...the book offers an interesting and sometimes amusing read about great planes and the stories behind them."
Chronicle Herald (Halifax, NS)
"...a spirited celebration of a wide array of aircraft that have served our nation through war and peace."
Toronto Sun
"(In Wings Across Canada) there are wonderful anecdotes and scraps of history...best of all are the evocative photos of old-time air pioneers posing proudly in front of the early rattletraps on various lonesome tundras and frozen lakes. It's a country for airplanes, Canada."
The Gazette (Montreal, QC)
