Al Williams' book a good read with useful illustrations. Have an interest in general aviation; also sparked by a visit to Vancouver area in 2005 where floatplanes are a common mode of transport in BC. Floatplanes not common in NZ, but bush pilots exist, usually working off rough back-country strips. This book provides a nice view of the Canadian operations. Easy read; recommended.
