ON THE EDGE
by Robert G. Brown
Fighter pilots of World War Two had
operational flight ceilings of at least 20,000 feet. For Flight Lieutenant
Robert G. Brown, this ceiling was limited to 4,000 feet, though he often
flew under hydro wires and just over farmers' fences. Flight Lieutenant
Brown was not just a flyer, he was a flying man's flyer. Whether piloting
his P51 Mustang in photo reconnaissance or close ground support missions,
his calm at the controls of an aeroplane earned him a reputation and
distinction as one of the best of his time.

Wing Leader -by Johnny Johnson.....31-253.....$22.95
At its peak, Canada's
British Commonwealth Air Training Plan was graduating over 3000 aircrew a
month from over 100 schools across Canada. This is the compelling record
of the huge mobilization of personnel and resources required to get the
plan off the ground and make it work. Above all it is the story of the
unskilled young men who came to be counted among the best-trained airmen
in the world, who were Canada's principal contribution to victory in World
War II.
