The Black Flight is the memoir of one of the greatest Western fighter aces of the First World War, and the second [third according to some -ed.] top scorer amongst Commonwealth aces, Raymond Collishaw. It was originally published in the United Kingdom in 1973, as Air Command; however, it was never released in Canada. Raymond Collishaw was born in Nanaimo, British Columbia, in 1893 and joined the Canadian Fisheries Protection Service in 1908 as a stripling 15-year-old cabin boy. He transferred to the newly established Royal Canadian Naval Service in 1910 and eventually took a commission and worked his way up to first officer.
