Flash-in-the-Sky Boy

A non-fiction book by Kay PArley: Billy Gibson was ahead of his time. An understatement. A boy born on a pioneer farm south of Wolseley, Saskatchewan, grew up to build and fly the first place to be built and flown in Canada. He did all his early experiments with flight while living on his father’s pioneer farm. His playmates were Indigenous children from the nearby reservation. Did they believe he would fly? Perhaps they did, but grownups laughed. When you meet the young man in this book, you’ll wonder how it could possibly have happened. But it did. Flash-in-the-Sky Boy is a true story.
