Title
Alaska's Bush Pilots 192330: And the Winter Search in Siberia for Eielson and Borland,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This story follows the careers of Alaska s pioneering pilots, who, with cranky opencockpit biplanes, started the great changes in Alaska s way of travel. During the summer of 1923 Ben Eielson was the first to fly commercially from Fairbanks, ferrying passengers and light freight with an open cockpit Jenny (JN4) biplane. It was the beginning of the leap from ground travel to air. By the 1930s, Alaska s growing aviation industry had revolutionized transportation in the Territory. This volume is a fond look back at the triumphs and tragedies of the pioneering Ben Eielson, Noel Wien, Harold Gillam, Joe Crosson, Ed Young, and others, the great pilots who were the first bush pilots of Alaska.
