Reviews
"In this compendium of short stories the author has meticulously researched each and every fact to ensure accuracy . . . and spun them into some fifteen easily read stories."
Captain John R. Scott, Editor, Px Magazine, and Airforce Magazine, Spring 2010
"This is a great book."
Hugh Dempsey, Editor, Alberta History, Spring 2010
"History and Mystery" . . . "Shirlee Smith Matheson has brought us several general aviation books which celebrate the achievements of Canadian aviators who have been so important in helping to build the Canada we know today. Amazing Flights and Flyers continues her penchant for seeking out offbeat stories that illustrate just how important aviation and aviators were to our country’s development. . . . One of the book’s strengths is the variety. . . it touches on many subjects, so it doesn’t have to be read in sequence. The stories are all good. And if variety is your pleasure, this is the book for you."
