Pat Carey smiles through the pages as he relates his exciting and often humorous adventures from pioneering on the Fraser Valley to flying as an early bush pilot. As a homesteader and logger, we have Pat's first-person insight into pioneering days in the opening decades a century ago. His stories of flying out of Chilliwack and Richmond, B.C. to Canada's Far North are fascinating tales of aviation reality. Historical and down-to-earth homey, we travel with Pat in his personal journey through the full breadth of the Twentieth Century.
