In 1956 he teamed up with Frank Dufresne, writer and Western Editor for Field and Stream. They went on a trip to Alberta to gather material for a story about upland game birds, traveling through the central part of Alberta with the Fish and Game people. The resulting story, written by Frank and illustrated by John, was ‘Wings Over Alberta,’ which appeared in the September 1957 issue of the magazine.” LITERATURE Frank Dufresne, “Wings Over Alberta.” Field & Stream, September 1957, illustrated View More Information Condition Surface is in excellent condition.
