In 1948, Hugh Burns Hay, a decorated Second World War navigator returned to university to finish his medical degree. As a part of his studies, he requested sixteen pilots' files from the RCAF in an effort to identify 'accident proneness'. Generously illustrated, Quietus: Last Flight offers a unique insight into war on the Home Front in Canada, as well as a glimpse into post-war aviation research.

Books are available through Owl's Nest Books, the Bomber Command Museum of Canada, who are the publishers, and Anne Gafiuk. www.whatsinastory.ca
