Quietus: Last Flight Accident Proneness in
WWII, Wartime Aviation Stories on the
Canadian Home Front.
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.
Published by the Bomber Command
Museum of Canada, Quietus was released
