Canada's pioneer bush pilots definitely have the right stuff. Between 1919 and 1939, a few adventurous men both established Canada as one of the world's premier aviation nations, and almost single-handedly opened up vast northern areas for exploration and development Uncharted Skies tells their stories, in their words, from the tale of the princess who kept her lover in airplanes - through crash after crash - to the story of the mysterious Macleod brothers, who took the jealously-guarded secret location of their fabulous gold mine with them to the grave. Here are anecdotes, at once both hilarious and moving, fascinating and exciting. Uncharted Skies is a celebration of imagination and courage, of the matter-of-fact acceptance of risk by men who, above all else, loved to fly. Here is a book no aviation, adventure or Canadiana buff will want to be without.
Uncharted Skies is the result of over ten years work by a number of men determined to capture the essence of Canada's pioneer bush flying years while those who experienced that heady era first-hand were still alive. While many are to be thanked and congratulated, it is not an overstatement to say that, in the end, without the yeoman efforts of Stan McMillan and Mike Finland (both featured in this book), Uncharted Skies would never have been published. Mr. McMillan lives in Edmonton.
Mr. Finland passed away shortly before Uncharted Skies was published.
