4.0 out of 5 stars Great stories of bush flying!, August 16, 2008

By	T. Lowe (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Some great stories of bush flying on floats, skiis and tundra tires!
I think that the best tales are flying in the Noorduyn Norsemen and the Dehaviland Beaver, Otter and Twin Otter.
There are also a lot of great stories of the Piper Cub, and Cessna 180 and 185.
And some experiences with the DC3 and Canso (Catalina).
