Henry Tenby has made it one of his life missions to celebrate and document the history of Canada’s flag carrier airline Air Canada(formerly Trans Canada Airlines) and from a chance worked related meeting with Clayton Glen in the mid 1990s, where he introduced his detailed TCA memoirs which then were kept in safe isolation for nearly thirty years, Henry Tenby is honoured and thrilled to present this amazing historical work. The 288 all colour pages that are presented in this lavishly presented hard cover volume offer a look back to the engineering, industry and commercial fascinating implications that were at play as all of TCA’s great historical airliners were selected and introduced to service, as presented in Clayton Glenn’s voice. There are many juicy and revealing stories that will surprise and shock even the most well learned airline historians who thought they have heard it all.
