History

Americas

The flight of the German airplane Bremen from Europe to North America in 1928 was one of the milestones of aviation history. No one had flown the Atlantic in that direction and the risks were high - seven people had died in the attempt. When two Germans and an Irishmen left Ireland in the Bremen for New York, there were predictions of a similar fate, and when nothing was heard after 40 hours, the newspapers began preparing obituaries of the gallant crew. Suddenly a message was relayed from a remote Canadian radio station: the aircraft had force-landed on an ice-bound island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence...and the race was on to reach the stranded fliers.

Aircom: Canada's Air Force

From 1942 onward, members of the Royal Canadian Air Force served on Typhoon squadrons. Later, others flew the awesome Tempest, a hybrid Typhoon spin-off and one of the most advanced fighters of the day. Typhoon and Tempest: The Canadian Story is the first book to describe this special niche in RCAF history. From the original few Canadians operating the as yet unproven Typhoon interceptor on RAF squadrons, to its final emergence as a classic fighter-bomber, Typhoon and Tempest provides all the details from an RCAF perspective. Halliday places special emphasis upon the activities of the all-Canadian Typhoon organization-No. 143 Wing, which comprised Nos. 438, 439 and 440 Squadrons. Halliday captures the essence of these groups through his detailed descriptions of ordinary squadron life, including the rigors and boredom of training, the moves from airfield to airfield, and even the simple pleasures enjoyed on leave.
