Short explanation of the story and how it developed: This article revisits Beryl Markham's almost forgotten 1936 trans-Atlantic flight and its connection to Atlantic Canada. Markham's biographies and newspaper coverage were used to recreate her dramatic flight, but the key to the article was identifying, finding and interviewing the few people still alive who recall the day she drew international attention to the tiny Cape Breton community of Baleine. |
