Book Review
As appeared in the Journal of the Orders and Medals Society of America (May-June 2000)
This highly attractive and informative work commemorates the 25th anniversary of Canada's
Aviation Hall of Fame and provides fascinating biographies of the Hall's current 158
inductees. They Led the Way takes the reader through the history of aviation in Canada
with stories about those who played an important role in its development beginning with
the early aviators who designed the Silver Dart and made the first tentative flights in
1909. There are tales of the barnstormers of the Canadian Prairies of the 1920s and 1930s
and of adventures following World War II when aviators explored Canada's vast wilderness
working as bush pilots and surveyors, establishing mail routes or merely testing their
abilities as entrepreneurs. Also covered are the exploits of Canada's most decorated airmen
through two world wars, including the nation's seven Victoria Cross winners for valour in
the air. The coveted Aviation Hall of Fame Medal is illustrated and discussed in depth together
with a history of Canada's Order of Icarus and a complete roll of the recipients of this
premier aviation order.
For the aviation buff or for the collector of aviation awards, this handsome volume is
a must. I'm certainly glad there is a copy on my bookshelf!
