Bush pilots and their engineers are a hardy crew, willing to run risks and embrace adventure as they deliver supplies and maintain access to remote northern Canadian communities.

The stories blend history and adventure, and are accompanied by a detailed description of the changing equipment, conditions, and hazards faced by these Canadian aviation pioneers over the years.
