Читать книгу Wings Across Canada - Peter Pigott - Страница 5

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Everyone knows that Icarus came to a bad end attempting to fly, but how many people sympathize with his poor biographer trying to get eyewitness accounts and photos of the event? This is my ninth book on aviation, and I have learnt that much of what an aviation author does is not commune with the Muse but harass innocent people. In this case, I relied on the generosity of Captain Leah Gillespie, 4 Wing Public Affairs, Cold Lake Alberta; Major Lynne Chaloux, Senior Public Affairs Officer, 1 Canadian Air Division Headquarters, Winnipeg; and Janet Lacroix, CF Photo Unit, Ottawa, among others. On the civilian side, Ken Leigh came through once more, as did the National Archives in Ottawa and Peter Gauthier at Dollco Digital, who printed some of the photos. To all who helped, my gratitude.
