As you and I begin the month of September 2024, it is with pleasure that yours truly will conclude in your company this article on a shocking use of air power in interwar Québec, that is the bombing of pods of beluga whales which lived in the waters of the St. Lawrence River. Let us therefore read the 4th part of our article on that bombing, carried out by Laurentian Air Express Limited of Québec, Québec, without further ado, and... Do you already have a question, my reading friend? Let me guess

Allow me to welcome you without further ado to this 3rd and penultimate part of our article on a shocking use of air power in interwar Québec, namely the bombing of pods of beluga whales which lived in the waters of the St. Lawrence River. Yes, yes, the 3rd and penultimate part. Yours truly preferred to subdivide his text into 4 parts of reasonable length instead of 3 parts of unreasonable length. You are welcome. Without further ado, let us begin our weekly reading. As the beluga whale hunting

Did the title of this edition of our blog / bulletin/ thingee and the caption of the photograph you have just seen shock you, my reading friend? I am at ease with that. This was indeed my intention. That shocking episode in the history of Québec / Canadian aviation began indirectly in France no later than December 1918, I think. It was in fact at that time that Louis Marie Adolphe Olivier Édouard Joubin, a French zoologist based in Paris, France, more precisely a professor at the Institut

Again, greetings and salutations, my reading friend. You will of course remember how the first part of this article ended. Something about the beginning of a new phase in the aeronautical history of Hoffar Motor Boat Company of Vancouver, British Columbia. Well, the hyper long digression also known as Part 2 of this article is finally behind us, which means that we finally have the means, motive and opportunity to jump into the fray. Are you ready? Wunderbar! Our story began with the Minister of

Cropped, 3D model of a diving suit against a black background. The right side of the suit is bulky and orange, with shiny silver bands on the limbs, and with a black, domed helmet. The left side is stylized with a series of blue, interlocking 3D mesh lines overlaying the body.

Hello there, my reading friend. Given the less than balmy weather in a certain northern corner of the northern hemisphere of planet Earth, yours truly thought that a topic like the one on offer today, in this edition of our heart warming blog / bulletin / thingee, would be most appropriate indeed. Let us begin with a quote, which consists of the brief text which accompanied the photograph above.

The Junkers Ju 52 bushplane registered as CF-ARM of Canadian Airways Limited of Montréal, Québec, Manuan Lake, Québec, August or September 1940. CASM, 13469.

Welcome back, my reading friend, and profuse apologies. Yours truly remembers only too well my December 2022 statement according to which I hereby and heretofore endeavoured to valiantly attempt to be briefer in my perorations. I had, however, prefaced that statement by stating that resolutions for the new year could be (tend to be?) fleeting. Well, now you have proof. Hence the apologies. Now, where were we? Ah yes. The Junkers Ju 52 of Canadian Airways Limited of Montréal, Québec, was being

The Junkers Ju 52 bushplane registered as CF-ARM of Canadian Airways Limited of Montréal, Québec, under repair, Arviat, Nunavut (Eskimo Point, Northwest Territories), September 1932. CASM, 1208.

Welcome back, my reading friend. I am pleased to welcome you yet again to the wonderful world of aviation. You will undoubtedly remember that, when we flew off last week, we were in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in late December 1931, with the crew of a Junkers Ju 52 cargo plane bought a few months before by Canadian Airways Limited of Montréal, Québec. As you may well imagine, said crew took a few days off during the holiday season. Mind you, it was very likely that these gentlemen joined Canadian

May I begin this issue of our tremendous blog / bulletin / thingee with a heartfelt aeronautical hello? Yours truly would like to bring to you attention this week the remarkable career of an equally remarkable bushplane, the Junkers Ju 52 “flying box car” registered as CF-ARM of Canadian Airways Limited of Montréal, Québec. And yes, I still very much intend to valiantly attempt to be briefer. So, let us begin. Canadian Airways was created in November 1930, from the merger of Western Canada
