ABOUT THE BOOK

Join Gord Price in the cockpit on an exhilarating ride through the highs and lows of his extraordinary 65-year career in aviation. After his early days as a nuclear strike pilot for the Royal Canadian Air Force and his adventures in commercial aviation with Air Canada, he went on to build aerobatic aircraft that pushed the boundaries of the industry, competing in championships around the world.

"Wings of Resilience" is not just about mastering the art of flight but also about the unbreakable bonds of family and the relentless pursuit of dreams. With each chapter, Price shares gripping tales of aerial anecdotes, heart-pounding emergency landings, and the quiet moments of reflection that come with gazing at the world from thousands of feet above. "Wings of Resilience" is a testament to the strength, courage, and determination that define a life spent in the skies.
