Bush Planes and Bush Pilots presents sixteen focused profiles of the aircraft and pilots that helped open Canada's most remote regions. Drawing on museum collections, Dan McCaffery recounts notable episodes—Wilfrid May's 1932 Bellanca pursuit, Russ Baker's 1942 Junkers rescue and Fairchild coastal patrols among them—while situating each plane in its historical role.

Each profile pairs period and contemporary photography with colour artwork and concise technical and operational notes. Short narrative vignettes highlight daring missions, rescue efforts and the adaptations that made bush aircraft effective across harsh northern terrain.

Published by James Lorimer & Company (2003), 96 pages, paperback—an accessible, illustrated overview for aviation enthusiasts, historians and Canadian history readers.
