Canada's Air Force: At War and Peace (Bk. 1)

With its vast text and more than 2000 photos, Canada's Air Force at War and Peace is the grandest of publications dealing with the Royal Canadian Air Force, its predecessors and successors. This series is something that no air force veteran will want to miss. CAFWP begins with the major role played during WWI by Canadians in the Royal Flying Corps and Royal Naval Air Service. The chapter covers many exploits—fighters and bombers over the trenches, patrolling in flying boats, instructing in the RFC (Canada) training scheme, etc. The airplanes are familiar—Camel, D.H.4, JN-4. Many of the aviators, however, are not—the focus is on Canadians who flew heroically but not in the limelight.
