Knights of the Air

Remembrance Day has always been special for me. It is the one holiday most likely to inspire my sense of my own Canadianness.

I think this book has a lot to do with it. It may have been my favourite non-fiction read as a boy. The stories of Billy Bishop, Bill Barker, Raymond Collishaw, Roy Brown, and the like--real Canadian heroes.

If you happen to know any boys, it would make a great gift this Remembrance Day.
