Henry Tenby, the author AIR TRAVEL TIME MACHINEAIR TRAVEL TIME MACHINE presents the most extensive photo history of Air Canada TCA ever to be published in the annals of aviation in this remarkable limited print volume as told by the late Clayton Glenn.

Clayton Glenn joined TCA in 1943, and during his many decades with TCA and Air Canada, was intimately involved with the aircraft evaluation and selection process for the all the great types including the Lockheed Lodestar, Douglas DC-3, Canadair NorthStar, Vickers Viscount, Lockheed Super Constellation, Vickers Vanguard, Douglas DC-8 and DC-9 all of which are detailed in this volume, with lavish photo and image support many of which have never been published.

Air Canada TCA History | From Lodestars to Jets – Clayton Glenn Memoirs 1943-1964 288 pages all colour book

Henry Tenby has made it one of his life missions to celebrate and document the history of Canada’s flag carrier airline Air Canada (formerly Trans Canada Airlines) and from a chance worked related meeting with Clayton Glen in the mid 1990s, where he introduced his detailed TCA memoirs which then were kept in safe isolation for nearly thirty years, Henry Tenby is honoured and thrilled to present this amazing historical work.

The 288 all colour pages that are presented in this lavishly presented hard cover volume offer a look back to the engineering, industry and commercial fascinating implications that were at play as all of TCA’s great historical airliners were selected and introduced to service, as presented in Clayton Glenn’s voice. There are many juicy and revealing stories that will surprise and shock even the most well learned airline historians who thought they have heard it all.

This volume will provide many hours of fascinating reading and insight and revelations and if this volume proves successful, there might be a volume two, to present the follow on years of Air Canada aircraft fleet matters into the 1960s and 1970s.

Only 400 copies of this book have been printed and it will likely sell out fast.

I just completed reading your latest aviation epic, Clayton H. Glenn’s TCA Memoirs: ‘From Lodestars to Jets’. Best TCA/Air Canada book I ever read! I learned more in this one volume than I ever did in a whole shelf-full of other Canadian aviation books over the years. So glad that you were able to publish this, Henry. Thank you for your dedication and effort. We Canadian aviation history enthusiasts appreciate it. You have my vote for a possible Volume 2 of Clayton Glenn’s memoirs. Count me in.

This book is quality and full of interesting facts and photos on TCA / Air Canada I really enjoy reading it. I am now retired from Air Canada working from 1985-2014 and have enjoyed every working moment in YVR reservations and YVR airport and eventually at LHR. Your Books, Videos on airlines and aviation is preserving and giving history to future aviation enthusiasts especially about the pioneering days of Canadian Aviation.

I must say that Clayton Glenn’s memoirs are a treasury trove of golden nuggets, especially if you happen to be an avid consumer of aviation technical history, a small and anal group of which I am a proud member. As an airline pilot for the first half of my career and an experimental/engineering test pilot for the second half, it has been my great fortune to get my sticky fingers on 24 different types of airliner from many of the manufacturers of the world. I have always had a fascination with why certain things were designed the way they were. Was it purely on technical merit, economic or political considerations, tradition, or, in some cases, purely on whim from some obscure engineer sitting in the dark? Clayton Glenn’s memoirs certainly answer some of these questions, at least for me, and fill in some holes in my historical knowledge that I didn’t even know existed, such as the Boeing high altitude symposium of 1947.

I stayed up far too late last night looking through the Air Canada book. This is a COMPULSORY addition to any avgeek’s library. The stories and photos are unbelievable! Thanks for masterminding this publication.
Frank Van Der Voet

The content is truly amazing. Thank you for all you do to preserve and make available this special part of aviation history. What you do is very important and much appreciated.
Michael Brown

I just wanted to thank you for your excellent book. It’s one that a person can keep picking up since there’s so much to it!
All the photographs are amazing but particularly the older colour shots which are obviously rare.
It’s a keepsake that my grandson will enjoy. PS – many names of pilots I either met or (in a few cases) actually flew with. Also the sons and grandsons of many mentioned are or were Air Canada pilots. (Probably a great-grandson by now too!)

The density of images and information, this is unrivalled in the history of airline, erm .. histories. Wowsers! I have no idea how you and your designer have pulled this off. Lucky Clayton Glenn (RIP) and lucky Air Canada!
