First Trans-Canada plane - grounded Revelstoke October 1920 - first plane seen at Revelstoke

On day of leaving Revelstoke as the two occupants of plane watched anxiously for a rift in the clouds over Eagle Pass. They talked of the air pockets over the mountains entering which the plane would drop suddenly. The rift appeared & away they went & were swallowed up as the clouds closed in behind them. Telegraphic reports from C.P.R. telegraph operators gave news back at Revelstoke of the then startling speeds over Sicamous & other points. E.D. [from back of photo]
