From the grease and glamour of flying to airline board room maneuvering, and from the Alaska bush to the deserts of Palestine-- The Alaska Airlines Story is the story of Alaska Airlines--Alaskana and aviation history at its best. The bush pilot has always been the backbone of Alaska travel and survival, relied on for everything from food and supplies to medical aid and just plain news from home. And from the early days of flying in Alaska, Alaska Airlines' pilots have flown a remarkable path through history...a path that took them through and over mountains, over glaciers and the bush country to halfway around the world to airlift Jews to Palestine.

Adventure Past , Present & Future....,
By p wilhelm (Springfield, MO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Alaska Airlines Story (Paperback)
This is not only a historical account of the Alaskan Airlines but a story about the lives of the people who carved out a dream in an unforgiving wilderness. The organization's culture reflects the personalities, values, and experiences of the people, past and present, which built this company. The author takes you back in history to the early 1930's through the eyes of the first pilots who dared to fly the Alaskan wilderness. Their courage, strong determination, and refusal to accept failure built the founding principles of the organization we know today. Satterfield provides the reader a vivid historic depiction of the evolution of air travel, the Alaskan Airlines, the people, and their place in Alaska's history.
