A young Canadian farmboy joins the Canadian Airforce during World War II and learns to fly from trainers to later in Britain exotic Supermarine Seafire - sister of the Spitfire.

After the war with a compulsion to continue flying he starts a flying school, marries a beautiful blond, and works for succession of aviation employers to advance his career. This involves running flight operations in Kenya and other African countries, operating in several countries in South America, United States, Europe, and the Canadian Arctic.

During his last 20 years of flying he operated a Douglas A-26 on forest wildfire operations in Western Canada.
