CRUMBS
by
John Ough
Crumbs!
remembers this century's darkest decades with the wide-eyed wonder of
the youth that author, John Ough, was. It spins a tale with charm and
wit, and eases the horrors of war through humour and a sense of hope.
From early schooling in London's North End, to mailboy at an
aeronautical instruments firm, to enlistment as a pilot in the Royal
Navy during World War II, John Ough ponders the "fickle finger of
fate" as it guides him safely through the Blitz, across the North
Atlantic to training in Canada, and back to England in time for war's
end. A truly engaging book

Non-humorous
By Garth Wallace
DON'T
CALL ME A LEGEND
by Garth
Wallace
The
extraordinary story of international pilot Charlie Vaughn
Don't Call Me a
Legend is the
inspiring biography of how Charlie Vaughn went from sky-gazing farm boy
to a world renowned ferry pilot.
Charlie Vaughn has
battled bad weather, mechanical failures, bureaucratic red tape, heat,
cold and exhaustion to deliver airplanes where others failed. Fly with
Charlie as he ferries a Cessna Skymaster to Botswana, a Twin Otter
across the Pacific and a Hawker Siddeley through Russia.
Don't Call Me a
Legend is a
legacy of aviation stories that are unique. Charlie Vaughn's aviation
career is a one-man history of modern blue collar flying. He has worked
in flight training, float flying, agriculture aviation, charter flying,
sightseeing, frost flying, air racing, cargo flying, aircraft ferrying,
courier flying, test flying and corporate aviation.
"Charlie Vaughn is
the only pilot I know who has been pulled over by a police cruiser for
flying too low through downtown Montreal."

Double Cross
Shirley Render |Douglas & McIntyre
This book tells the story of James A. Richardson's dream of promoting
commercial aviation in Canada. It is also the tale of how Canada lost
its chance to become a world leader in aviation as a result of
government shortsightedness, departmental rivalries and bureaucratic
bungling. Double Cross untangles the web of deceit and double-dealing
that resulted in the demise of Canadian Airways.
