"When war broke out in Sept. 1939, the Allied ari forces had few combat aircraft and even fewer military pilots ready to fight. So in Dec. 1939, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada created the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Most of the air crew training took place in Canada. The instructors moulded thousands of teenaged recruits into fighter and bomber pilots, navigators, air-gunners, bomb-aimers, wireless operators, and ground crew. They took pilots from elementary "circuits and bumps" on Fleet Finches to the rigours of aerobatics in Harvards, navigational practice in Ansons, or gunnery exercises in Fairey Battles. At its peak, the plan adminstered 107 schools and 184 other units at 231 sites across Canada, operated 11,000 aircraft, and employed 104,000 men and women. The BCATP trained 200,000 air crew in less than five years." Any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a stock photo!. First Edition First Printing. Hard Cover. Near Fine/NF.

"The Long and the Short and the Tall' as an open-hearted account of what it was like for a prairie farm boy to move into wartime air force life. It is not a book about heroes; they were the glittering minority of World War II. Rather, it is a memoir of growing up in uniform. Like thousands of others who served far from the glory of the battlefield, Collins' experience was the war of the ordinary airman. For a shy young man from a homd where 'Darn' was a harsh expletive, the all-male environment and the barracks humor and language of the air force were a rude awakening. Robert Collins candidly describes the overcoming of inhibitions, the warmth of friendship, the joy of achieving independence and a sense of self-worth."

Heroism was commonplace; in less than two weeks at Passchendaele, Canadians won nine Victoria Crosses, almost as many as were won by Canadian soldiers - ten - during all of World War II.
