The Flying North by J Potter, is one of the best bush pilot books bar none, about flying in Alaska's early days when a hand full of pilots and mechanics set the stage for the transition from dog teams to aircraft and Alaska's early development. A book that should be on the shelf of all those interested in aviation history. I also recommend, Flying North South East and West, a non-fiction book on the seldom covered arena of Cargo flying. It takes you from a young couples struggle to survive in Alaska, to the hot sands of Africa and all the time wrapped around aviation from bush flying on an North Pole expedition, flying cargo worldwide, to flying Boeing jets off icy runways in the north country. Both a terrific read.


Flying North South East and West: Arctic to the Sahara

This is one aviation classic that every pilot who is interested in the north, must own. Real Alaska history.

Also you will enjoy FLYING NORTH SOUTH EAST AND WEST, by Captain Terry Reece, another great read covering not only Alaska, but polar expeditions, flying in the deserts of Africa and middle east.Flying North South East and West: Arctic to the Sahara
