This is an image of the first book to tell in detail the story of the Royal Canadian Air Force and Canadian Forces Air Command. It begins with early developments in Canadian military aviation leading to the formation of the Canadian Air Force in 1918 and the RCAF in 1924. Sixty Years is the story of the people and planes from the early Avro 504 and Vedette to such recent acquisitions as the Aurora maritime patrol aircraft and the CF-18 fighter. The book ends with a look into the future by LGen Paul Manson, Commander of Air Command. It is handsomely illustrated with the finest and largest collection of over 90 specially commissioned colour profiles of RCAF/CF aircraft.
