Description
Cowboys of the Sky: The Story of Alaska’s Bush Pilots is an overview of the history of Alaska aviation, beginning in 1911 when “Professor” Henry Peterson, a music teacher in Nome, attempted to fly his biplane on skis but failed to get it off the ground. The book includes fascinating details about the pioneer bush aviators who risked their lives in Alaska’s skies, as well as many black-and-white historical photos of planes and pilots.
