Flying the Frontiers
Can$16.95

Shirlee Smith Matheson
Flying the Frontiers tells about an era that has all but disappeared, and of the men
and women whose careers spanned the pioneer age in aviation. Some continue to
fly today. Many of these stories were told to Shirlee Smith Matheson by the people
who experienced the adventures and misadventures over the endless bush and
barrens of Northern Canada. These are the tales of near misses, of heroism and
foolishness, of innovations and renovations. The book taken from the log books and
journals of people for whom aviation is a way of life, it tells us about the pilots,
engineers, aircraft salvagers and smoke jumpers.
