The Queen Charlotte Airlines was a Canadian airline founded by Jim Spilsbury that operated on the West Coast of Canada from 1943 to 1955, when it was sold to Pacific Western Airlines. Though the airline began as bush flying operation, it grew to become the third largest airline in Canada at the time of its sale.
The book The Accidental Airline, by Jim Spilsbury and Howard White, tells the story of the QCA.
