Flying on the Edge

Description

Gene Manion vividly describes incidents that took place while he was developing a small business and shares with readers his love of Newfoundland- its vibrant characters, its wildlife, its outport culture, and the way things were. When Manion established Newfoundland Air Transport Ltd. (NAT) in 1961 he was in direct competition with Eastern Provincial Airways, an established company owned by Newfoundland’s powerful Crosbie family and with the backing of the government of then Premier Joey Smallwood.
