Edmund Cosgrove, CANADA'S FIGHTING PILOTS (Toronto, Clarke Irwin, 1965); W. Brian Costello, A NURSERY OF AN AIR FORCE (Carleton Place, Forest Beauty Products, 1979); John Norman Harris, KNIGHTS OF THE AIR: CANADIAN ACES IN WORLD WAR ONE (Toronto, Macmillan, 1958); Dan McCaffery, AIR ACES: THE LIVES AND TIMES OF TWELVE CANADIAN FIGHTER PILOTS (Toronto, J. Lorimer, 1990); S.F. Wise, CANADIAN AIRMEN AND THE FIRST WORLD WAR (Toronto, University of Toronto Press, 1982). A magazine entitled WINGS IN SPACE (now defunct) carried many articles of lesser known Canadian aces during the first half of the 1960s. The JOURNAL OF THE CANADIAN AVIATION HISTORICAL SOCIETY (still in existance - check their web page) still carries the odd article on First World War pilots; in the period 1964-1972 it had such an article in almost every issue, thanks to the contributions of the late Harry Creagen. A forthcoming book by Larry Milberry (rough working title, RCAF 2000) will have a substantial amount of new material on lesser known aircrew of the First World War; you might write Milberry at 51 Balsam Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M4E 3B6. For persons interested in the Canadian military (land, sea and air) a valuable reference book would be by Owen Cooke, THE CANADIAN MILITARY EXPERIENCE 1867-1995: A BIBLIOGRAPHY (third edition, published 1997 by the Department of National Defence, 101 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, K1A 0K2.
