What a great lot of things to know and applaud! Don't think of this as a "kids book" but rather as a history and future collection of useful information presented in a fascinating way and full of photographs. Some of these things are: where to train, different planes and when they are used, Canadian flying history, problems of enlistment in WW1 for black and indigenous people, the
Black Battalion of WW1, RCAF was first Canadian military to recruit women and what became the Women's Division of the RCAF, hooray for the Canadian Forces Snowbirds and their aerobatics team, Medevac services, and how to become a pilot in Canada.
Terrific for gifting and/or recommending to a school or your local public library!

First book I ever read on the Canadian Air Force.
I really liked the set up of the book. It started by explaining the different types of pilots and giving a brief introduction on the Canadian Air Force.
When it goes into talking about the first world war and Second World War. Including personal stories from people who flew including African-Americans, indigenous people and women.
There is a lot of history as well as talking about pilots today and training.
It’s written in a way that kids can understand, but it’s also a good brief history for anyone curious.
