26 pages. Oblong 8.5 x 11". Printed upon glossy stock. Maps. Generously illustrated with reproductions of archival black and white photos. "Canadian Pacific's Rossland Subdivision is situated in the West Kootenay District of southern British Columbia.

A Year later a standard gauge road was built to West Robson. Both, under the corporate title of the Columbia & Western Railway, were to be the foundation of the Rossland Subdivision as it is today." - p.1. Clean and unmarked with moderate wear.

Pacific Airway - An Aviation History: Air Pilot Navigator Volume Two (2)
282 pages. Index. References. Dozens of black and white reproductions of archival photos in text. "During WWII the RCAF developed five flying boat stations between Victoria and Prince Rupert for the defense of the Pacific Coast. It would be well into 1943 before airfields were built on the west coast in both Alaska and British Columbia suitable for serving the needs of military aircraft. It would be these airfields, developed in a time of intense need, that would evolve into the future airfields that exist along the entire Pacific Coast today. This, then, is the story of both these airfields and the air harbours that preceded them." - from Preface. This copy was presented by a daughter to her father and contains her lengthy and heartfelt gift greetings to him inside the front cover. Few other markings to contents. Average wear. A sound copy.
