Who wrote that? Is that Bern Will Brown's book (he lives in Colville Lake)?

If thats it, I've definitely seen it in the NWT - you could contact a Yellowknife bookstore and check their stock...

Contact Larry Milberry at CanAv Books. He frequently acquires book collections from estate sales, or library dead stock. If he doesn't have that title, he can certainly point you in the right direction.

If it's the one I'm thinking of it's by Dick Turner.
He also wrote "Nahanni" and used to live at Nahanni Butte.
You should be able to get it online at amazon.ca, they usually have a list of used one availabe too.

I have a book called the Leslie Corness Propliner Collection, by Larry Milberry.

Leslie Corness was an Anglican missionary in the 50's & 60's with a big hard on for classic airplanes and he was a good photographer.

Larry Millberry compiled the collection after his death.
