Such operations included reconnaissance flights as well as shipping strikes to Norway, the Netherlands and the French coast. The Canadians proved themselves admirably despite heavy losses some of the heaviest of the war. From a force of some 4,000 officers and airmen and 270 aircraft at the beginning of the war, the RCAF had within four months doubled in strength, with 8,287 officers and airmen, and 14 operational squadrons in Canada. In all, 48 RCAF squadrons had served overseas by the end of the war.This comprehensive study covers every success achieved by Canadian squadrons listed in Coastal Command's records for World War II including attacks on U-boats and enemy controlled vessels. Each operation is reported in meticulous detail, from the time of departure, current weather, hours flown and crew involved to a description of the action itself.".

DJ and boards show very light shelf wear.; A bright, solid book, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped.; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 263 pages; Canada had switched to metric and someone, when fueling the 767 didn't realize the fuel gauge of this new plane measured in kilograms instead of imperial pounds, meaning that it received less than half the fuel it needed for the flight. This is what started the whole drama. When a 767 runs out of fuel mid flight, there is no longer any fuel to run the controls. The pilot had to use sheer skill to glide this large passenger aircraft into the airport in Gimli Manitoba with no loss of life. That plane became forever known as the Gimli Glider..
