5.0 out of 5 stars Flying Photos in AK, May 16, 2000

By A Customer

This is a wonderful compilation of photographs centered around flying in bush Alaska. Anyone who has lived or travelled off the beaten path in the far north knows how essential airplanes are for travel and life in the 49th state. While the essays in the book tend to be a little sappy and trite, the beautiful photographs more than compensate as the reader is shown the beauty of Alaska from the perspective of bush planes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning Photography, absolutly beautiful, April 3, 2006

By	Jon Engle - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an incredible collections of aviation photos from the north country. Ground to ground as well as air to air and air to ground pictures fill this large coffee-table book. There are not just 3 or 4 great pictures, the book is full of them.
Worth every penny for those who want to gasp at stunning mountain views and shake your head with envy at the close-us of the hard working bush planes.
Truely a pilot's book, but my wife even enjoys looking at it with me.
