In 1990, the Royal Canadian Mint launched a series of silver and gold $20 coins, titled "Powered Flight in Canada". The collection was divided into two series and included ten coins for each series. The first series, "The First 50 Years", covered the period up to World War II, and the second series "Powered Flight in Canada, Beyond World War II", covered the period from the late 1940's to 1999. This is the ninth coin in the second series. See list in notes for coin titles and years issued. (See references)
