Product Description
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.
About the Author
Archie Satterfield, author of nearly 40 books, including Chilkoot Pass and After the Gold Rush, has captured the spirit of the gutsy pilots and bold entrepreneurs who combined to make aviation history in Alaska.
