{"product_id":"canadian-wings-stephen-payne-9781553654964","title":"Canadian Wings: A Remarkable Century of Flight","description":"It's hard to imagine modern Canada without the airplane. In an immense, open country with many challenges to travel, flight has become an integral part of Canadian life, from bush pilots landing floatplanes on remote lakes to business travellers shuttling between cities and time zones. Here the rich resources of the Canada Aviation Museum provide a fresh look at the aviation heritage that made this possible. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCanadian Wings gives a full and copiously illustrated account of how powered flight developed during its first century in Canada, as well as the contribution that Canadians made to the wider story of flight in the world. Vignettes and anecdotes bring famous Canadian fliers to life, from J.A.D. McCurdy and Alexander Graham Bell's Aerial Experiment Association to World War I aces Bishop, Barker and Collishaw, and from bush pilots \"Wop\" May and \"Punch\" Dickins to steadfast flyers-turned-boardroom-executives Grant McConachie, Gordon McGregor and Max Ward.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Payne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 155365496X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781553654964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas \u0026amp; McIntyre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 9.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Stephen Payne","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065703379199,"sku":"9781553654964","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1d865e73-db7b-46e1-a6dd-ac4b5549554e.jpg?v=1768676698","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/canadian-wings-stephen-payne-9781553654964","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
