A perfect choice for the aviation enthusiast, Alaska’s Bush Planes is loaded with a large selection of photographs of small aircraft including float, ski wheel, and amphibian planes. Also included is information on the challenging weather conditions that pilots face, the types of cargo and missions they fly, and their destinations. Extended captions provide technical information on various aircraft used in Alaska and how they perform in its widely diverse terrains and climate zones, while an introductory essay covers the beginning of aviation in Alaska. More than 100,000 people take flightseeing trips in Alaska each year!
The passion for flight has seized Alaska flyers—and those who yearn to fly to the Last Frontier—since 1913, when the first biplane arrived in crates via steamship and paddle-wheeler. In the decades to follow, Alaska’s skies buzzed with aircraft—some brand-new, others patched together, and still others lovingly restored to their original beauty. Alaska’s Bush Planes offers a brief history of flight in Alaska, then transports the reader on a visual journey with favorite aircraft, some of which have served for decades. It’s a perfect book for the pilot—or the pilot wannabe—who dreams of flying in the Northland.
