3 out of 5 stars Little covered era and action   March 24, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I thought this was a good book that covered a bit of Alaska aviation history that has not seen a lot of coverage other than Sam O White.
All in all worth having on your northern bookshelf.

Another great book on Alaska Flying from the Arctic to the sands of Africa, is Flying North South East and West.
Flying North South East and West: Arctic to the Sahara



4 out of 5 stars Interesting collection of Game Warden experiences   October 17, 2007
 4 out of 5 found this review helpful

Ray provides a good overview of the challenges and adventures he faced in his wildlife enforcement career in Alaska. I'm a pilot; hence I enjoyed Ray telling his stories from a flying game warden's perspective. A good portion of the book conveys flying-related experiences--hence you'll enjoy the book more if you are a pilot and/or if you enjoy reading about plane "stuff."

Not a barnburning read, but still OK. If you are looking for a book that focuses on rural wildlife law enforcement--keep looking. The book deals more with Mr. Tremblay's aircraft than law enforcement. Angle of attack, pitch and rolls and shaky landings highlight the book with some animal enforcement adventures mixed in. Easy read, but not exactly what I thought it was going to be about.


5 out of 5 stars Great!   February 26, 2007

My father worked with Mr. Tremblay so I was really interested in this book. It is a great book, exciting! Neat pictures! I loved it.
