Book on Women and Flight History in Canada
Toronto. I have made earlier posts about how history has been helped by photography. Recently I was reminded of this fact by a note from my good friend George Dunbar. George writes, “Some interesting book titles listed here for those interested in both flight and exceptional women”.
The ‘here’ in George’s comments is the Niagara Falls Public Library‘s catalogue. The link George offers is this catalogue link to a book called “Canadian Women in the Sky” by Ms Elizabeth Gillan Muir.
The book is also available for purchase in paper back at Indigo Books. The book consists of 175 pages of short stories. There is even an organization (Achieve Anything) promoting women to embrace industries and disciplines out side their scope in history.
As to Muir’s book, with or without photos included, photography would certainly have improved the historical aspect by showing the people, machines, and times covered. Have a look!
