About This Item
From the Foreword: Al's determination to be the best flyer in the business kept him striving to that end. It took him through the rigors of mastering the Navy's Seafire over Britain, then through the rough and tumble of his own flying school. Adversity, tinged with good fortune, landed him in the jet age with Canadair and the RCAF Auxiliary, thence into aerial survey in the arctic and foreign lands. He went on to test airlines and their pilots, and retired after years as a forest fire bomber pilot in western Canada. It has been a career laced with exciting ventures, adventures, and some misadventures, over tundra, jungle, desert, mountain and ocean."
From the back cover: "Al MacNutt flew for 50 years on 67 different types of aircraft, from the Tiger Moth and Seafire of wartime to Mosquitoes and P38s converted for peacetime aerial surveys and A26s for forest fire bombing."
