Good morning, my slightly masochistic reading friend. It is with pleasure that I welcome you to the world of aviation and space and, perhaps even more so, of the automobile. Our topic of the week appeared at the turn of a page of Photo-Journal. More exactly, a page from the 29 December 1949 edition of this Montréal, Québec, weekly, which we all know and love. The caption of the photograph containing only a minimum of information, yours truly had to invent the rest. Sorry. I’m joking. I did / do

With your permission, my reading friend, I would like to begin our expedition to the wonderful world of aviation and space with a question. Do the first words of the title of this week’s article ring a bell? No? That’s no big deal. Let me enlighten you by mentioning a series of Canadian novels which appeared between 1962 and 2005. Known as the Bandy Papers, these books related / relate the adventures and misadventures of Ontario’s Bartholomew Wolfe Bandy. A gifted if accident prone fighter pilot

Hi, hello. How are you on this November day? Having stumbled (Ouch. Sorry.) on the photograph above while I was exploring the November 1969 issue of the American magazine Air Progress, I had the idea to write (talk?) to you about a very important personality in the Canadian homebuilder / amateur aircraft making community who lived in Edmonton, Alberta. An avid model maker during his youth, Christopher Barnard “Chris” Falconar was born in 1927. He began his career in aeronautics towards the end

Good morning to you, my reading friend, and no, the name of the bipedal creatures native to the icy planet Hoth that were used by the rebel alliance in the 1983 movie Return of the Jedi was not taunton. It was tauntaun. To lead you back to the path that leads to enlightenment and joy, yours truly would like to quote the caption which accompanied the photograph found in the 17 November 1949 issue of the Montréal, Québec, weekly Photo-Journal:

Hello, my reading friend, hello. Yours truly must confess that it is with a pleasure barely contained that I offer you this article. I am indeed fascinated by the flying cetaceans that airships were / are. Wishing to be brief, I will not make you wait any longer. You obviously remember that Le Miroir, of which yours truly used the photographs above, taken from the issue published on 26 October 1919, was the illustrated supplement of the great French daily Le Petit Parisien, and ...

Hail, my reading friend. Yours truly wishes to use this week’s topic of our blog / bulletin / thingee to atone, with much delay, unfortunately, for my obvious lack of enthusiasm for a temporary exhibition project, not realized actually, at the National Aviation Museum, today’s Canada Aviation and Space Museum, in Ottawa, Ontario. For a variety of reasons, I did not believe that the air cargo industry and its history was an interesting topic. I was wrong. Sorry VD. To convince you of this fact

To dream, perchance to fly: The saga of the Great Flapper

Five years ago, the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, in Ottawa, Ontario, acquired a priceless flying machine. Yours truly would like to say (type?) a few words, a great many words in fact, on this matter. Are we ready, my reading friend? One could argue that the saga of the Great Flapper began in March 1941 with the birth of James Duncan DeLaurier, in Michigan. As a child, DeLaurier had read about Leonardo da Vinci, the first person to seriously look into ornithopter design, and dreamt of
