Customer Reviews

Aviation History at its best!

The Flying North by J Potter, is one of the best bush pilot books bar none, about flying in Alaska's early days when a hand full of pilots and mechanics set the stage for the transition from dog teams to aircraft and Alaska's early development. A book that should be on the shelf of all those interested in aviation history. I also recommend, Flying North South East and West, a non-fiction book on the seldom covered arena of Cargo flying. It takes you from a young couples struggle to survive in Alaska, to the hot sands of Africa and all the time wrapped around aviation from bush flying on an North Pole expedition, flying cargo worldwide, to flying Boeing jets off icy runways in the north country. Both a terrific read. Flying North South East and West: Arctic to the Sahara
