ITEM DESCRIPTION

FROM BADDECK TO THE YALU:
Stories of Canada's Airmen at War
by Norm Shannon

They were the first and the last, and their exploits have been virtually lost to Canadian history. Albert Prince was killed in action five days before his country declared war in 1939. Hammy Gray was shot down in a daring attack six days before the end of the Pacific War in 1945. An air gunner in Bomber Command in WWII, Norm Shannon flew 52 operations over Europe and his interest in the role of Canadians in aerial warfare has culminated in this personal look at the impressive place they hold in military aviation history.
