5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of People, December 28, 2000
By 
R. Haines (La Crescent, MN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Harmon Helmericks doesn't just write about flying; he writes about people and place. Mostly he writes about people and he writes so respectfully. He even writes about their foibles without poking fun at them! One of my favorite passages is Chapter 20, 'Kisik,' in which he writes about a Native American couple. He tells a story of two of the world's great people, who he obviously counted as very dear friends. I can't find a mean word about a person in the whole book, and it is primarily a book about people.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent overview of bush flying in the 50th state., December 4, 1998
By A Customer
This is a good book for any pilot who's dreamed of flying in Alaska. Helmericks was the real thing and he tells his story with great affection and respect for his fellow fliers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super BOOK! The Last of the Bush Pilots, March 24, 2006
By 
John P (The Woodlands, Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
I found this book in a furniture store yrs ago as a decoration.

It is an INCREDIBLE book!!!!!!!!!! Harmon's adventures are amazing... death defying... and it is amazing the creative things he did to help people in rugged Alaska... They literally used bailing wire to hold things together. Real seat-of-the-pants stories... I loaned this to at least 4 people to read and even gave a copy to Jimmy Buffett, since he is a avid pilot and adventurer. I made sure I could get a 2nd copy for myself tho! ANYone who likes flying will love this book and not want to get rid of it!!!!!
