"Bi-planes pieced together with spruce branches and baling twine, flying blind in the Arctic winter, delivering heavy bombers to WWII Europe and flying commercial airliners at the dawn of jet propulsion, Don Patry did it all -- a true icon in the pioneering days of the Canadian bush pilot." -- Brendan Coyle, Author. "While flying with Patry might have been a hair-raising experience, flying his book from an armchair is pure delight." -- Edmonton Journal, Sunday 10th December.
