"A fascinating look at an important but unknown aspect of Canadian
history." --BC Books for BC Schools/i>-- (10/15/2013)
The era of the bush planes and the pilots who flew them is filled
with stories of exploration and adventures . . . A recent title
that is easy to read and focuses as much attention on the machines
and the historical "firsts" as the people who built and flew them
is Flying on Instinct: Canada's Bush Pilot Pioneers by L. Dyan
Cross. --Winnipeg Public Library Reader's Salon
