About This Item
From the Foreword by Claude Taylor, President and Chief Executive Officer of Air Canada, speaking of Gordon McGregor: "When he became President in February 1948, TCA was a young pioneering domestic carrier. When he retired twenty years later, Air Canada was a world airline and a national institution. The man himself had become a public figue, deeply respected even by his adversaries. To us in Air Canada, he was the object of both respect and affection."
"When Gordon McGregor retired he took on the task of writing a book about the history of Air Canada. Unfortunately, he died before the book was finished. Miss Beth Buchanan, who worked with him in his Presidency and in the preparation of the memoirs, his papers have been put in order and, to the greatest extent possible, gaps filled and his wishes accurately reflected."
"In memory of a great President, Air Canada has undertaken this private printing of the McGregor papers for distribution to his old colleagues and friends within the airline and without. Their fascination is that they faithfully reflect his personal views on a wide range of people and events in the formative yers of a great airline, If he had lived longer we would have had more, but we must be grateful for what we have."
