The Red Knight was the product of thirty years of meticulous research by aviation historian John Charles Corrigan. It is arguably the most comprehensive account ever written about the Royal Canadian Air Force's legendary solo jet-aerobatics program. Now the author follows up that important work with The Red Knight Aircraft, a careful documentation of the triumphs and tragedies of each of the aircraft used by the program between 1958 and 1969. John digs into the stories of the four Silver Stars and two Tutors. He pays tribute to the pilots who gave their lives trying to push the limits of aerobatics, and the people connected to this colourful part of Canada's past. Also included are the civilian revivals of the Red Knight and the static display aircraft painted in the colours of the RCAF's famous aerial performer. Readers who saw the Red Knight in action will deepen their knowledge and be swept up in nostalgia as they peruse rare photos, clippings, and remembrances, all gathered together in one beautiful book. Aviation and air show aficionados will be treated to behind-the-scenes details of a bygone era, as they appreciate the achievements of the Red Knight pilots - and their metal steeds.
