I picked up this book at the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site in Baddeck, Nova Scotia. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the early history of Canadian aviation and the remarkable, yet unsung, life and work of Casey Baldwin. The incorporation of the telegrams and letters throughout the book really bring Casey's story to life.

[James Fisher]

Remarkable research and collating of many letters and facts surrounding this unsung pioneer of early Canadian aviation. A must read for aviation history bluffs.
