1984201 pages of profoundly fascinating and delightful illustrated history. Author's father (b. 1870) left Yorkshire, England with his young family for Canada in 1909 and arrived in Fife Lake, Saskatchewan where they spent their first winter in a straw house. Author was born in a sod house in 1910 and moved with his family to Montana when he was 6 years old. At age 14 the family moved to Victoria, B.C. and from there to Nanoose Bay, further up Vancouver Island. Most pages contain brief text, accompanied by the author's simple sketches of the way things were. He has stressed the most practical elements of daily life and survival. A priceless compilation of the challenges and genius of the pioneer. Examples include: how to hunt prairie antelope by wearing a white sheet; avoiding flying ants by erecting a pole to your wagon and hanging a coat at its top; uprooting stumps by tying them to nearby trees to be felled; cutting wood by rigging a buzzsaw to the back wheel of a Model "T" Ford truck; and many, many more. Mentions Vancouver Island landmarks such as the Arlington Hotel, Lantzville Hotel, Quarterway Hotel, and more.

"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 The picture he weaves is one where a handful of men in a few outdated and underpowered machines establish a legacy of perseverance ingenuity and dedication undertaking missions which would not be out of place in today's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.
