Proposed Aerial Line Britain to Canada via North Route
James H. MacBrien of the Aviation League of Canada explains a northern Canada route for an air link between Great Britain and Canada. The plan envisions a 3,500 mile flight with 1,400 miles over water, using Iceland Greenland and Hudson Bay, and aims to cut London Winnipeg to about two and a half days. A Winnipeg first flight could occur next August if the Watkins expedition proceeds. A second item notes a 282 year old baptismal certificate of Barbe Le Mounier at Notre Dame church in Montreal, preserved by the Quebec government.
