In the wake of world-wide media attention generated by Omni's "ICE PILOTS NWT" comes an insider's story of Buffalo Airways, written by one of the few chosen to fly for the airline. Critically acclaimed author and aviation historian Darrell Knight details the long road to becoming a pilot and the pitfalls and sacrifices attendant with landing a flying job in Canada's North. The book is a rollicking, character-filed "must-read" for anyone interested in the aviation business, vintage aircraft and the Canadian North.

Mole, Rich Dirty Thirties Desperadoes : Forgotten Victims of the Great Depression - The Mounties Win the Battle of Banff
Victoria, BC, Canada Heritage House Publishing Company Ltd. 2011 1926613953 / 9781926613956 Soft Cover New
In October 1935, three Doukhobor farm boys embarked on a violent trail of robbery and murder that stretched from Manitoba to Alberta. By the time the spree ended near Banff, seven people were dead, including the fugitives and four law-enforcement officers. For the next 70 years, these "farm-boy killers" held the distinction of being the RCMP's deadliest adversaries, yet many questions about the shocking case remained unanswered. This gripping narrative reveals surprising new details about the tragic events as it chronicles the disastrous impact of the Great Depression on the young killers and the lawmen who faced them down.
