Flying Canucks II: Pioneers of Canadian Aviation - Pigott, Peter

Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; In this, his second book about pioneers of Canadian aviation, Pigott brings a richness and understanding of the individuals themselves to the reader. Flying Canucks II takes us into Air Canada's boardroom, to the Avro Arrow design office, inside the incredible career of an Aviation Hall of Fame pilot, on C.D. Howe's historic dawn-to-dusk flight, in a Stranraer seaplane, and much, much more. Whenever possible, Mr. Pigott has interviewed the players themselves, and drawing on his experience and contacts within the aviation community, has created a multi-faceted study of the business, politics and technology that influenced the eleven lives explored in depth in this book.
