The Brave Young Wings (1980) By Ronald Dodds
During the First World War, Canada never succeeded in forming its own air service. However, thousands of young Canadians served in the Royal Naval Air Service, the Royal Flying Corps, and later, the Royal Air Force, playing a part out of all proportion to their country's population.
