Pathways
in the Sky
DVD available also in VHS $59.95
Nothing in the 20th century
amazes more than the strides
made in aviation. Here is a
picture that captures the
romance of past and present,
from primitive one-seater to
supersonic jet. Aircraft are
seen in domestic service: crop
dusting, water bombing,
air-lifting. The need for
safeguards and air-traffic
control, as carried out by the
Civil Aviation Branch, is made
obvious.

through film footage shot by the

leader of the 1927-28 aerial
survey expedition to Ungava Bay
and Hudson Strait. The
formidable challenge of flying
under Arctic conditions, the
hazards faced and the
emergencies solved, often with
the help of Inuit, make an
absorbing chapter of northern
frontier history.
