An excellent introduction to RCAF 431 Squadron, better known as the Snowbirds. This film can be used in connection with a discussion of the discipline and skill of the pilots, and modern technology (machine as an extension of man's will). This film can also be used as part of a study on Canadian symbols and national identity. Students can research other Canadian symbols and present them to the class through traditional or electronic media.
