Description

NADIR TO ZENITH Vol. 1
by Bill Hockney and Moe Gates

Anyone who longs to re-live the old days when celestial navigation reigned supreme, even in the high tech world of aviation, will thoroughly enjoy these books. The books are a collection of stories by former RCAF navigators, and cover the period from WWII to the present. There are lots of stories about WWII bombing missions, the Korean Air Lift and pioneering flights in the arctic. There is a fascinating story about a U.S. Navy led expedition in a “lighter than air” ship, and narrated by one of Canada’a foremost experts on arctic air navigation. Many of the storytellers clearly have a talent as engaging raconteurs. Vol 1, HC, 2002, 399 pgs. Vol2, HC, 2006, 413 pgs.
