Quietus: Last Flight Accident Proneness in WWII, Wartime Aviation Stories on the Canadian Home Front
In 1948, Hugh Burns Hay, a decorated Second World War navigator returned to university to finish his medical degree. As a part of his studies, he requested sixteen pilots' files from the RCAF in an effort to identify 'accident proneness'. Generously illustrated, Quietus: Last Flight offers a unique insight into war on the Home Front in Canada, as well as a glimpse into post-war aviation research. Published by the Bomber Command Museum of Canada, Quietus was released November 8th, 2017 at Owl\'s Nest Books. Please visit my FaceBook page for more info.
