If you do not mind, my reading friend, I would like to talk to you today about a prolific Belgian “bande dessinée” author who deserves to be better known, a gentleman of gentlemen that yours truly met in September 1994, at the Canada Aviation Museum, today’s Canada Aviation and Space Museum, in Ottawa, Ontario, during an evening surrounding a temporary and traveling exhibition which highlighted the best-known element of his work. (Hello, MD and SD!) I am doing this because Albert Weinberg was

A typical FFVS J 22 fighter plane of the Swedish air force, or Flygvapnet, Bunge, Sweden, circa 1948-49. Flygvapenmuseum, FVMF.002142.

I have been asked a few times what my favourite airplane was. Well, here is one of my all-time favourites: Sweden’s FFVS J 22 fighter plane, part 2

Greetings, my reading friend, and welcome to the second and final part of the tiny gift that yours truly is offering himself as a kick off to this month of April 2022. As was said (typed?) in the first part of this article, the 1940 American embargo and confiscation of its war supplies put the Swedish government in a real pickle. The British aeroengine produced under license by the only manufacturing firm of its type in the country, Nohab Flygmotorfabriker Aktiebolaget, a subsidiary of Swedish

A typical FFVS J 22 fighter plane of the Swedish air force, or Flygvapnet. Harald Jacobson, “Ett flygplan – en flygepok.” Looping, April 1952, 12.

Greetings, my reading friend. Yours truly hopes that you will forgive this decision on my part to offer myself a tiny gift on this April Fool’s Day. While I cannot explain why this is so, I must admit that Sweden’s FFVS J 22 fighter plane is indeed one of my all-time favourite airplanes. And yes, you are quite correct, my all-seeing and all-knowing reading friend, Looping was the monthly magazine of the Kungliga Svenska Aeroklubben. And you are the one who is digressing. As usual. So back to our

Edward T. Faulkner and his Curtiss JN-4 Canuck, Honeoye Falls, New York, 1962. Canada Aviation and Space Museum 2985.

Good morning, my reading friend. Yours truly would like to commemorate, with you to the extent possible, the 60th anniversary of the acquisition, by the National Aviation Museum, today’s Canada Aviation and Space Museum, in Ottawa, Ontario, of an example of a type of aircraft which played a very important role in the history of Canadian aviation. Indeed, the Canuck had / has more Canadian aeronautical first under its, err, wings than any other type of flying machine: first aircraft to be truly

Hello, my reading friend, hello. It is with a certain trepidation that yours truly approaches the subject of this week. I feel a certain discomfort at the idea of talking about an agricultural tractor designed in Italy during the years during which the Partito nazionale fascista, an unsavoury organisation led by Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini, a pompous brute and buffoonish dictator mentioned since August 2018 in several issues of our blog / bulletin / thingee, held the reins of power. This

A coastal reconnaissance Bristol Bolingbroke destined for the Royal Canadian Air Force being assembled at the Fairchild Aircraft Limited factory, Longueuil, Québec, 1941. Anon., “Les C.F. et la R.C.A.F.” Le Samedi, 18 October 1941, (c).

How would you like to read a fascinating text while sipping a glass of turnip juice, my reading friend? If so, you are in for a treat, if I may quote the vampire Eric Northman. I think. I hope. And yes, the topic in question is one of the aircraft types in the fabulous collection of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa, Ontario. Before we go any further on the yellow brick road that we are following today, yours truly would like to mansplain the title of the article published in Le

The Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2 of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, Ottawa, Ontario, February 2009. Wikipedia.

The strange and baffling case of the switched aeroplanes; or, Even when using New Mathematics, 4112 never equals 5878: The tall tale of the Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2 of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, part 2

Ahh, you are back. What a pleasant surprise. Would I be correct in assuming that you wish to see (read?) the second and final part of this article on the Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2 of the fantabulastic Canada Aviation and Space Museum of Ottawa, Ontario? Wunderbar! The story of that particular example of the B.E.2 began in England, in the factory of British & Colonial Aeroplane Company Limited, as most of Europe was busy tearing itself to pieces during the First World War. Completed in late

The Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2 of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum when it belonged to the Canadian War Museum, Ottawa, Ontario. H.J. (“Titch”) Jenkins, “Correspondence – Ottawa’s – and Sowrey’s – B.E.2c.” Flight, 12 October 1961, 600.

With your permission, or without it if need be, my reading friend, I would like to launch this issue of our blog / bulletin / thingee with a question. Do your like mysteries and / or oddities? Me too. By the way, did you know that, as late as 2017, the Public Works & Environmental Services of the city of Ottawa, Ontario, the nonbilingual capital of a bilingual country, sometimes used divining rods to locate an underground pipe suspected of leaking? I kid you not, but I do digress. Now that yours

Do you like gifts, my reading friend? And no, in this case, this is not a rhetorical question. This being said (typed?), I do not have the slightest intention of giving you anything. I simply wish to make use of an advertisement which appeared in the September 1941 issue of the Québec monthly magazine Le Bulletin des agriculteurs of Montréal, Québec, to pontificate on the question with which I have just introduced this September 2021 issue of our blog / bulletin / thingee.
