This beautifully illustrated book shares the rich history of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) on its 100th anniversary. Produced in partnership with the RCAF Foundation, Pathway to the Stars tells the story of the people, the technologies, and the events that shaped the RCAF from 1924 to 2024. Presenting 100 stories to align with 100 years of the RCAF, the book explores the many ways in which the RCAF contributed to advances in aviation over the past century, from the invention of the G-suit to the development of the first helicopter landing system on a naval ship to the design of the first flight-safety organization for investigating crashes. As we look forward to the next generation of the RCAF, Pathway to the Stars brings to light an inspirational story about Canada and its place in the world over the past century. Proceeds from this book support the ongoing programs of the RCAF Foundation, a Canadian charity that works to celebrate Canada's rich aviation history and future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "So There I Was...Tales from the Flight Line" is intended to offer a look through the window of my career in the Royal Canadian Air Force from 1981 through 2003. Beginning with life at the Canadian Forces Recruit School in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia the journey winds its way through the different air force squadrons that I was assigned to and finally landing at the point when I retired from active service. The people in this book are real as are the incidents that I witnessed however some of the "Tales" have been ethically sanitized as not to offend some parties. The last two chapters are dedicated to informing the reader how a callous Canadian government has systematically allowed the Canadian military, and more specifically the Royal Canadian Air Force slide into the procurement abyss and how the Canadian Armed Forces may be revived. Regimental Sargent-Major (Rtd) John Butler, of the British Royal Green Jackets Regiment, recommends that any young person who is thinking about joining the RCAF could not be briefed any better as to a type of career than by reading this book.
