Canada.: McClellan and Stewart;, 1985. Book. Illus. by Tad Aronowicz Cover.. FINE+, Near New. Soft cover. First Edition By This Publisher.. 277 pages. "From the author of 'Boys, Bombs, and Brussels Sprouts' and 'The Tumbling Mirth: Remembering the Air Force' comes yet another uproarious ascent into high-altitude insanity. And this time, in the interest of 'equal flights', (the author) frequently features the delightful anecdotes sent to him by WDs. As enthusiastic and proud as any member of the air force, the first-ever members of the Women's Division led a life that was often tough, but always intriguing. (This book) contains dozens of hilarious stories from WDs who recall the days when uniforms seemed to come in just a single size - but women had to be brave in more ways than one. There is a wealth of other incident here as well. Confessions of blunders (or hair-breadth escapes) in the air, details of disastrous parades, and stories of social occasions that were sometimes bungled - but always enjoyed. Poems, prangs, and practical jokes are all part of this light-hearted look at the air force from pre-RCAF days on." >> Minor stamp to bottom of spine. Size: 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall.
