Hollywood came north to Canada in 1941 (prior to America's entry in the war) to shoot a war movie about the Royal Canadian Air Force in technicolor. The plot of the movie was about a group of bush pilots who decide to join the RCAF as pilots. The film had some great historic scenes at places like RCAF stations Uplands, Trenton, and Jarvis as well as what looks like the CNE grounds in Toronto. The film, Captains of the Clouds, starred James Cagney, Alan Hale, and George Tobias (Abner Kravitz on TV's Bewitched. The film is a tribute to the men of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan pilots and had a wing ceremony conducted by Air Marshall Billy Bishop (The WW1 Ace). I first saw this film many years ago on Elwy Yost's Saturday Night at the Movies on TV Ontario, with interviews & background info. I'm pleased that it is available on DVD, if you'd also like to see the entire movie. "Per Ardu Ad Astra".
