Review
"[Cashman] writes throughout in the present tense...a fresh and effective device for drawing his readers into the picture. He inserts frequent newspaper quotes and vintage advertisements....And he has a knack for ferreting out small but fascinating insights...While all of the well-known flying exploits that have involved Edmonton...are dealt with in detail, it is the above mentioned, seeming trivia that give the book its appeal." William Wheeler, Journal of the Canadian Aviation Historical Society
"I knew Tony Cashman was working on a new book . What I didn't know was that it was going to be such a handsome volume, packed with historical photographs and full of stories, anecdotes and facts about the adventurers, entrepreneurs, pilots and engineers who all deserve credit for transforming a dusty airstrip on a piece of farm land into an airport that came to be know as Gateway to the North." Joseph Rek, Fort Edmonton Park Magazine
