A nation soars. Wings of courage. Episode two
Description
More than 22,000 Canadians flew for the British Air Services in the First World War. This documentary looks back at Canada's early aviator heroism from a personal and modern perspective. The personal perspective is colourfully captured from compelling stories provided by surviving relatives, or passionate supporters, of popular and lesser-known Canadian FWW pilots. The modern perspective is examined through biplane builders, FWW pilot enthusiasts and Air Cadets who bring the past to the present during the construction and testing of two FWW replica biplanes.
