This booklet of 10 Permanent™ domestic rate stamps celebrate Canada’s rich aviation history. It depicts all 5 stamp designs (2 each of 5 designs) from our Canadians in Flight (Part 2) issue.
Brave Canadians took to the skies when airplane flight was still in its early stages. As a result, Canada has enjoyed many “firsts” in the world of aviation and aeronautics and Canadians have made significant contributions to global advances in the fields of aviation and aeronautics, with some contributions remaining the foundation for ongoing advancement in these fields.
This second edition of the Canadians in Flight series honours the people, planes and technology that have allowed Canada’s reputation for innovation to soar. It builds on the design of the 5 stamps in the first issue of Canadians in Flight (2019). These stamps celebrate an iconic aircraft, Canadian flight simulator innovation and individuals who took Canadian aviation and technology to new heights.
Violet (Vi) Milstead was one of Canada’s first female bush pilots, and also ferried military aircraft in Britain during the Second World War.
The de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver is considered the best bush plane ever built.
Thanks to Canada’s CAE Inc. and its founder, aviator Kenneth Patrick, most airline pilots around the world receive their training in Canadian-made flight simulators. 2022 marks the 75th anniversary of the company.
Pioneering aeronautical engineer W. Rupert Turnbull developed the variable pitch propeller, which greatly improved aircraft performance.
Wilbur Rounding Franks invented the G-suit, which prevented pilots from losing consciousness during high gravitational force manoeuvres.

One of Canada’s first female bush pilots, Toronto-born Violet (Vi) Milstead (1919-2014) earned her private pilot’s licence in 1939. She then obtained her commercial licence and instructor’s rating and taught at Toronto’s Barker Field until aviation fuel became rationed during the World War II. Milstead joined Britain’s Air Transport Auxiliary, ferrying military aircraft between the factories and front-line squadrons. Over her 28 months with the civilian organization, she logged more than 600 hours and flew 47 types of aircraft from single-engine fighters to large multi-engine bombers. Among her many honours, Milstead received the Amelia Earhart Medal and the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. She was inducted into Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame and a Member of the Order of Canada. This OFDC is cancelled in Colborne, Ontario as Milstead was a long-time resident.
One of Canada’s first female bush pilots, Toronto-born Violet (Vi) Milstead (1919-2014) earned her private pilot’s licence in 1939, followed by her commercial licence and instructor’s rating, and taught at Toronto’s Barker Field. During the Second World War, she joined Britain’s Air Transport Auxiliary, ferrying military aircraft – everything from single-engined fighters to large multi-engined bombers – between the factories and frontline squadrons. After the war, she married and moved to Sudbury, instructing and flying as a bush pilot.
For millennia, we have looked skyward, longing to break the bonds of the earth to soar among the clouds. Canada has had its share of pioneers who bravely reached for the skies when flight was in its infancy or who used their gifts and vision to create new and better ways to fly. This stamp issue, designed by Ivan Novotny of Taylor|Sprules Corporation, celebrates three individuals and two aircraft that took Canadian aviation to new heights.
Ready for take-off on its return trip, the second edition of Canadians in Flight once again celebrates the people, planes and technologies that have allowed Canada’s reputation for innovation to soar. Since the early days of flight, Canadians have made global advances in the fields of aviation and aeronautics, with some contributions remaining the foundation for ongoing advancement in these fields.
