This is the story of an Eskimo boy, born in an isolated mining community, having only an eight-grade education, who amidst a frontier mentality of conqueror superiority becomes one of the finest Alaskan pilots of his generation. Told with modesty and understatement, from his early life in a small mining camp with a subsistence life style, to his tales of experiences that range from early Alaskan aviation to flying around the world. With over 34,000 hours he, was a legendary aviator in his own time.
