Intended for children aged 9 to 12, it describes an industry in the making, pioneered by some of Canada’s greatest leaders, bravest defenders, and most creative innovators. The book is a celebration of Canadian “firsts”—from our very first flight in 1909 to our first and future orbit of the moon. Topics range from mapping Canada’s remote North to the invention of pararescue, the G-Suit, the black box, plus those who pushed boundaries to become Canada’s first engineers, pilots, and astronauts.
