 | Arctic Bush Pilot by James Anderson, Jim Rearden
In 1948, then newcomer James Andy Anderson, started his career as an Artic bush pilot with a sense of adventure & a year-old Taylorcraft plane with no starter, no generator & no battery. He didn't know he'd become a pioneer. Anderson went on to establish a post-World War II bush service to Alaska's vast Koyukuk River region, backed by Wien Airlines. After seventeen years & more than 32,000 hours of flight time, Anderson offers a unique & historic view of living & flying in Alaska. Anderson flew out of Bettles Field, 185 miles northwest of Fairbanks. Many people relied on Anderson's charters to make it through, like the Eskimos of Anaktuvak Pass, 2,200 feet up the Brooks Range, who relied on Anderson for outside supplies. He transported sleds, dogs, live wolves, mining equipment & anything needed for life in the bush. Anderson flew many emergency medical charters--so many were women in labor that doctors gave him instructions on handling a birth & a medical kit for his plane! Artic Bush Pilot captures the spirit of Alaska & her hearty people while capturing the drama & adventure of Artic flying, all from the historic perspective of this pioneering pilot.
