These stamps celebrate two iconic aircraft and three individuals who took Canadian aviation to new heights.
- Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow, a fighter-interceptor jet capable of flying at more than twice the speed of sound.
- Ultraflight Lazair, a best-selling and award-winning ultralight with a top speed of 64 km/h.
The honoured individuals are William George Barker, VC, C.H. ‘Punch’ Dickins, O.C., and Elizabeth ‘Elsie’ MacGill, O.C.. A First World War flying ace,
Barker is the most decorated military service member in the history of the British Empire.
A pioneering bush pilot,
Dickins made flights covering 1.6 million kilometres of northern Canadian wilderness.
MacGill is a celebrated role model and trailblazer, the world’s first female aircraft
designer and an influential adviser to the International Civil Aviation Organization.
