Covers FRONT: An Avro Anson 1 of No. 2 AOS , Edmonton, flies above typical wintery Alberta terrain early in WW II.  This acrylic rendering by Jim Bruce was originally painted as a cover for the Winter 1971 Journal (Vol 9, No 3) - but it was not reproduced in colour. BACK:  the Fairchild KR-34C, C-FADH (formerly CF-AOH), restored in pre-war OPAS livery, is a proud possession of the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre at Sault Ste Marie, Ontario.  Retrieved in 1963 from its 1947 crash site, it has been lovingly restored.  Bob Thomas took the photograph.  Copyright 1995 CAHS Inc.  Library code ISSN 1207-1978
