Greetings, my slightly masochistic reading friend, and welcome to the wonderful world of aeronautics and astronautics. This week’s episode of our amazing blog / bulletin / thingee will touch upon an aspect of the air transportation which, like the great American stand-up comic Rodney Dangerfield, to use the stage name of Jack Roy, born Jacob Rodney Cohen, a gentleman mentioned in May and December 2020 issues of that same online publication, may not get the respect it deserves. Let us begin at

Hallo, kamarade. Wie gehts? Ich werde heute über ein sehr interessantes Thema sprechen, und… What’s wrong with you, my reading friend? You seem very puzzled. Ahh, apologies. Let us start anew. Hello, comrade. How are you? I am going to pontificate on a very interesting subject today. Ninety years ago today, a German weekly magazine, Kölnische Illustrierte Zeitung, I think, unless it was a German daily, Kölnische Zeitung, both from Köln / Cologne anyway, published a most interesting 3-page

As you may well imagine, the wonderful world of aeronautics and astronautics is chock full of wonderful flying machines. A surprisingly high number of these wonderful vehicles are, well, not very well known. While it is true that that this unfortunate lack of information plagued, plagues and will plague flying machines devised before 1914 and the start of the First World War, the fact is that some fairly recent aerial vehicles are not well documented. One of these would be a fine topic for our

The contribution of young Canadians to the Allied victory in the Second World War in the field of aircraft production was founded to a large extent on a network of technical schools spread across the country. This relatively unknown aspect of the Canadian war effort deserves to be highlighted. Yours truly wishes to bust your chops on this day by addressing a relatively little known aspect of this relatively little known aspect, that is the École d’avionnerie de Cartierville in Cartierville

Who in the industrialised countries of this crazy sphere we call Earth has not heard of the Boeing Model 747, the air giant which revolutionised air transport from the early 1970s onward? Who? Before getting to the heart of the matter, yours truly would like to offer you, in translation, the caption of the above photograph, found in the 22 March 1971 issue of a very important Montréal, Québec, daily, La Presse. By the tens of thousands, Montrealers flocked to Air Canada hangars to visit the

Greetings, my reading friend, and welcome to the wonderful world of aeronautics and astronautics. Yours truly would very much like to offer you a peroration, if not quite a pontification, on one of the most famous combat aircraft of the 20th century – an aircraft acquired in February 1971 by what was then the National Aeronautical Collection, today’s Canada Aviation and Space Museum, in Ottawa / Rockcliffe, Ontario. (Hello, EG!) The story of the Fokker D.VII was / is inseparable from that of
