Hot off the press: Great Circles: The Keith Greenaway Story takes you through a young man’s wartime years, then Greenaway becomes a leading postwar airman. He flies with a special USAF B-29 unit doing top-secret Arctic research. A stint at the Defence Research Board follows, he publishes ground-breaking works, receives the McKee Trophy for 1952, then is involved in developing the world’s first airborne, self-contained global positioning system. In 1954 Greenaway begins an exchange in Strategic Air Command, crewing on the B-47, B-52 and KC-97, and taking part in aerial exercises practicing for WWIII. In 1958 he crews on a US Navy blimp on another Arctic project. Later he is a station commander & overseas air adviser. The Order of Canada & membership in Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame follow.

Thanks for this, Larry. I was able to fill in the holes in my collection, so now I have a full set of CANAV publications, 1981 to present. (Finding enough shelfspace is another matter!). Keep up the great work.

Larry:
I never seem to hear anythng from you any more….no booklists for me, no small bundles of booklists to hand out at various meetings, no phone calls and, of course, no e-mails. I’ve been meaning to contact you to get a price on a group of books, but it kept slipping my mind.
I’m always too busy to spend time surfing the net and looking for websites to read!!
I need several of the books on your list, but sometimes I buy them at Aviation World(IF THEY STOCK THEM!!) because the tradeoff of discount vs. shippings makes it cheaper that way. Like Martin, I’ve long ago run out of bookshelf space again, but keep buying anyhow!!
I do need the following:
Canada’s Air Forces on Exchange
Aviation in Canada – The Pioneer Decades
Great Circles
Dancing in the Sky
For the Love of Flying
Maybe some others from the full list, but this is enough for now. $ 158.50 + $ 15.00 + GST – advise if this is correct and I will send.
