"Canada's Aviation Hall of fame announces a new
Members Book to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the Hall. Don't
miss the opportunity to enjoy this premium quality, limited run
publication honouring Canada's aviation pioneers.
This book will take you through the history of aviation in Canada with
the stories of those who lived it. Follow the early fliers who
designed the Silver Dart and made the first tentative flights in
1909. Meet the barnstormers of the prairies in the twenties and
thirties.
Read about the new adventures of the post-war era when our aviators explored Canada's vast wilderness, working as bush pilots and surveyors, establishing airmail routes, and testing their abilities as entrepreneurs. Share the exploits of some of Canada's most decorated and honoured airmen through the two World Wars, including the seven Victoria Cross winners. Through these stories you will become acquainted with the Members of the Hall, Canadians who led extraordinary lives as pilots, scientists, aeronautical engineers, doctors, and administrators. Discover Canadians who were responsible for improving aviation technology and flying skills to the level we enjoy today."

Mary received her Private Pilot's Licence in 1979, and shortly afterwards discovered the 99s. She developed a deep interest and commitment to them and has served in all of the elected offices of the West Canada Section, including Governor. She has served as the President of the Alberta Aviation Council in 1992-93, the first woman to hold this office. In 1998 was the coordinator of COPA's very successful Convention held in Edmonton. She was presented with COPA's Award of Merit in 1998 for her contributions. Since 1996 Mary has been a member of the Alberta Operating Committee for Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame. They Led the Way is the result of many hours of research and rewriting in an effort to bring the stories up-to-date. |
