Description
This is the best book ever written about Alaskan bush pilots. Helmericks has been a pilot in Alaska since 1946 and is a master guide with the Alaska Game Commission. A born storyteller, he describes flying blind through fogged-in mountain passes, landing by pontoon on remote glaciers, and setting down on lonely sandbars. This book is an important document of Alaskan history and a thrill for any hunter, fisherman, or pilot.
