Digital Collections

Bush Flying

The site of this collection is the Western Canada Aviation Museum (WCAM), which includes air service uses during the Great World Wars era, plane model types, artifacts, and restoration with a minor indication of involvement by Native people in North Western Canada. The pictures of old planes are quite a sight to see, complete with information on the years and uses of each particular piece. The artifacts include cargo, equipment, and personal items with a variety of uses. The pictures are clear, and this is a simple and straightforward site.
