Description:

Bush pilots haul cargo to remote reserves along the West Coast of Canada. They ferry big-game hunters to base camps and fly-in fishermen to remote lodges. They take nature photographers to scenic vistas and archaeological explorers to their latest dig. Bush pilots and the planes they have flown are an exciting part of Canada's aviation history.

In True-Life Adventures of Canada's Bush Pilots, Bill Zuk brings their exploits and adventures alive. Stories of their daring and bravery evoke our admiration for these enterprising men who have contributed so colourfully to the fabric of Canadian life.
