I have a 1948 Canadian Pacific timetable, where one page of the 64 is air schedules, one is transatlantic steamships and one is BC coastal steamships. The rest is rail.
There are some intersting routes, but Calgary-Vancouver leaves Vancouver 8am, with stops at Penticton at 9:25, Castlegar at 10:30, Cranbrook at 11:30 and arriving in Calgary at 2:10. Flight # 4 eastbound, #3 westbound.
The other routes shown are:
Vancouver-Dawson City ( with 8 stops along the way) Flight #25 ,26
Vancouver-Prince Rupert (4 stops) Flight # 5,6
Edmonton-Fort Smith then branches to Yellowknife and Norman Wells. (5 stops) Flight # 29,30; 41,42; 47,48
Winnipeg-Red Lake (1 stop) Flight# 89,90
Regina- North Battleford (4 stops) Flight# 61,62
Winnipeg -Flin Flon (2 stops)
Sioux Lookout-Red-Lake (one stop)
The air routes at the time seem to be run just like local trains
