Winged Direct Mail Couriers connect Canada Coast-to-Coast
Posted by Elizabeth Gage | Under Photos Saturday Aug 8, 2009
In the 1990's dare devil men and women pilots in flying machines swooshed across Canadian skies as dashing bush pilots, patrol forces, and as winged couriers delivering perfumed love letters and early direct mail advertising. In celebration of Canada's extraordinary aviation history PCM Interactive's VP of Business Development, Gordon Gage (top), accompanied Pilot Harvey McKinnon in a reenactment of mail delivery in Manitoba. They flew from Brandon to Winnipeg aboard client BA Robinson's Harvard 4 Air Force Trainer.
I went to school with a Harvey McKinnon in Newcastle NB. His brother flew gruman avenger spray planes out of Dunphy airstrip in central NB. I recently seen his picture in the Canadian Owners and Pilots publication and I was wondering if it was the same old Harv.
