Pathway to the Stars: 100 Years of the Royal Canadian Air Force

Description

by Michael Hood and Tom Jenkins

This beautifully illustrated book shares the rich history of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) on its 100th anniversary. Pathway to the Stars tells the story of the people, the technologies, and the events that shaped the RCAF from 1924 to 2024.

Whether they involved fighting in the air in a Hurricane during the Battle of Britain, delivering disaster relief around the globe, or leading search-and-rescue operations in Canada’s arctic, the missions required of the RCAF have challenged it to create aircraft, machines, and other technologies to persevere and succeed. Pathway to the Stars brings to light an inspirational story about Canada and its place in the world over the past century as we look forward to the next generation of the RCAF.
