From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Larry Milberry (born 1943) is a Canadian aviation author and publisher.
A long-time aviation enthusiast, he published his first book Aviation in Canada in 1979. He has subsequently authored or edited 21 books on Canadian aviation history, including many of the best-known reference books on the subject. All but one of his books have been published by CANAV Books, his one-man publishing operation.[1] Through CANAV Books, Milberry has also published works by other Canadian aviation historians, as well as several he has co-authored.
Milberry's research has taken him to all parts of Canada and to many overseas destinations. Although never a pilot, he has flown in more than 100 types from the Ford Trimotor to the Noorduyn Norseman, C-130 Hercules, CF-18 Hornet, Pitts Special, Sikorsky Skycrane and the giant Antonov 124.[2]
His contribution to aviation in Canada was recognized in 2004, when he was inducted into the Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame.[3] Larry Milberry is also a long-time member of the Canadian Aviation Historical Society.
