Welcome to Polyus Studios; Home of Canadian Aviation History

I grew up watching Wings and Great Planes on TV, but I was always disappointed that they only covered American aircraft. The exceptions being the short Wings Of The Red Star series which only covered Russian planes and the odd British documentary about the Vulcan or Lightning. I wanted to watch a show about the Canadian planes I saw in the museums and on pedestals around our country. I couldn't find anything, so I decided to make them myself. So in the spirit of Wings and Great Planes, I present to you my Icons of Canadian Aerospace series.
