Comments from readers:
“Jorgy is an Alaska aviation legend in his own time. He was one of the finest pilots that I have had the privilege to fly with and he helped mold many of the now great Alaska pilots.”
—Merrill Wien, pilot and son of Noel Wien
“[A] must read, a very important addition to the annals of Alaskana. With Jorgy’s remarkable memory, and the invisible but masterful hand of Jean Lester, they have captured a time and place that must never be forgotten. This book…gives the images and feelings of flying Alaska that come from hundreds of hours in the cockpit…. Jorgy tells it like it was—and in many ways, still is.”
—Don G. Porter, bush pilot, author
“[T]his book should be required reading for every school kid in Alaska. It is an absolutely fantastic Alaskan book.”
—Ted Spencer, Alaska Historical Aviation Institute
