Conquering Geography. Canada Above and Beyond
Description
From the beginning, air flight in Canada presented dizzying possibilities. It would link citizens across the country and make it possible to exploit Canada's immense natural resources. But there were formidable hurdles to overcome. Follow the story of the Beaver, Canada's solution to flying back-country; of native communities taking command of their destiny by owning their own airline; of fighting forest fires the Canadian way; and of the "Aurora Patrol" that helps us maintain territorial sovereignty.
