Alaska's Bush Planes

By Ned Rozell

Book Overview

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.

Customer Reviews

Great book, great photos

Beautiful photos make this a must-keep book. Alaska is a beautiful state and the airplanes which make travel practical throughout this rugged part of the world. Many of these aircraft are rarely seen in the lower 48 so this is definitely an opportunity to to see some of these classic machines. The only thing that could have been better is if the book was bigger!
