Sky Riders traces the development of aviation in Alberta from the first tentative flights of fragile early aircraft to the establishment of the airplane as a key mode of transportation for recreation, business, industry, and agriculture. The only comprehensive book about aviation in the province, Sky Riders looks at developments in Alberta in the context of world aviation history. With more than 100 archival photographs of famous aviators and their airplanes, aviation events and incidents, and aircraft through the eras, Sky Riders recaptures the romance and excitement of a bygone age and reveals the enduring fascination and support among Albertans for all aspects of aviation.

WWII and the BCATP brought big changes and opportunities to flying and aircraft in Alberta. The province provided large open spaces for the safe training of thousands of new fliers for the RAF and RCAF. Young men came from all over the world to Canada to be trained to fight the Nazis and much of the flying, navigating, and bombing training took place in the wide open western provinces. Aircraft repair was also a big part of the program lending huge economic benefits to Alberta.
Great detail throughout and an extensive bibliography to lead you to more information. ( )
