It would be well into 1943 before airfields were built on the west coast in both Alaska and British Columbia suitable for serving the needs of military aircraft. It would be these airfields, developed in a time of intense need, that would evolve into the future airfields that exist along the entire Pacific Coast today. This, then, is the story of both these airfields and the air harbours that preceded them." - Preface. 282 pages. Index. References. Dozens of black and white reproductions of archival photos in text.
