Chronicle Herald features The Big Hop

I am delighted to report that on Sunday the Halifax Chronicle Herald published an article about my book, The Big Hop: The North Atlantic Air Race. On another, more somber note, the appalling helicopter accident that took 17 lives last week is a grim reminder that the dangers of flying across the harsh north Atlantic have not disappeared, despite dramatic improvements to aircraft safety in the decades since Alcock and Brown first flew across the ocean in 1919.
