Here are the stories of aviators such as Harold Gillam, one of Alaska’s first bush pilots. Gillam and fellow bush pilot Ben Eielson were the first men to cross the Arctic Ocean by air. But the flying was treacherous, often claiming the pilots in a deadly crash. Nevertheless, these dedicated pilots persevered, driven by the needs of others and their own insatiable passion for flying.
Filled with photographs of the pilots and the planes, “The Bush Pilots,” part of The Epic of Flight series, tells the stories of these brave pilots and their daring exploits. Readers interested in the achievements of early aviators and the evolution of aviation will find much to appreciate here.
