"Concentrating on the history of the Air Station at Jericho Beach the author explores the unique circumstances that drove flying boat operations on the west coast. He chronicles the activities conducted by the fledgling Canadian Air Force and after 1 April 1924 the permanent Royal Canadian Air Force. The picture he weaves is one where a handful of men in a few outdated and underpowered machines establish a legacy of perseverance ingenuity and dedication undertaking missions which would not be out of place in today's headlines. Among the first in the world to fly such missions as fisheries forestry and anti-narcotic patrols these individuals provided peace-time support for Canadaa while still maintaining a military capability that would prove invaluable in the Second World War." - From Foreward by A.M. DeQuetteville Air Command. Gift greetings atop half-title page else clean bright and unmarked with very light wear. Excellent copy. M. C. W. Enterprises Paperback

WELD, Isaac (1774-1856)
Voyage au Canada, pendant les années 1795, 1796 et 1797, par Isaac Weld. Ouvrage traduit de l'anglais, et enrichi d'une carte générale du pays, et de onze planches, offrant les points de vue, les plus remarquables, et notamment le fameux saut du Niagara. Tome premier [-troisième].
3 volumi in 8vo (211x132 mm). vii, [5]-321, [3] p., [1] grande cartina ripiegata del Canada e [6] tavole; [4], 344 p. e [4] tavole; [4], 294 p. [mancante l'ultima carta, bianca] e [2] tavole. Volumi legati in brossura coeva con tassello al dorso. Qualche lieve rossore, ma buona copia con carte consistenti e ancora in barbe. Prima edizione francese. Resoconto del viaggio compiuto dal giovane Isaac Weld, che trascorse più di due anni in Nord America per studiare le condizioni per una possibile immigrazione massiva irlandese. Osservò il territorio nordamericano compreso tra il fiume San Lorenzo a nord, la Virginia a sud e Detroit a ovest, muovendosi con i mezzi più disparati (a cavallo, a piedi, in canoa, in battello e in calesse). Incontrò una popolazione quantomai variegata, e conobbe George Washington e Thomas Jefferson. Il suo racconto è una testimonianza di grande interesse per la diversità dei temi trattati e per il giudizio dato alle due regioni osservate: severo per gli Stati Uniti e i suoi abitanti, avidi e violenti; più accondiscendente per il Canada, saggiamente governato e ancora abitato per lo più da francofoni.<BR>Boucher de la Richarderie VI, p. 43-54. Chadenat 1228. Leclerc 2996. Sabin 102544.<BR><BR>
