As with every work, there are numerous inputs, influences, interpretations, experiences, additions, deletions and events that meld to produce the final text. However, I would particularly like to thank Lesley Reynolds for her editing expertise and Bob Mercier for his help with research, as well as Marcia Rak of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum Archives, and Dora Winter of Library and Archives Canada for their assistance in sourcing documentation and illustrations in their collections.
