The photo of the AEA Silver Dart is in the public domain in Canada because its Crown copyright has expired and was first published more than 50 years ago. The book, Hawaii Mars: Dreams As Big As The Sky, was featured in our November Author’s Tea, when author Jen Wright came and spoke about how she came to write the story behind her children’s book. The local mail plane photo is from the Log Cabin Museum Archives, on the Inauguration day, 01AUGUST1931. F316Ph #188a
In #Canada, Feb23rd is #NationalAviationDay, honouring the day in 1909 when the #SilverDart made 1st controlled powered flight in Canada in Baddeck NS.
Locally, aviation is all around, incl: 1931 inaugural mail flight, and the Martin Mars waterbombers!
