Bush Pilots (Canadian Portraits) - Shaw, Margaret Mason

Clean, tight, unmarked; chip to bottom front edge of dustjacket; chip and associate creases upper front top corner of dj; light wear to upper edge of dj; personal gift inscription and old seal stamp on ffep; otherwise bright and unfaded with very minimal wear; price on dj $3.00; Margaret Shaw chose as her subject the bush pilots, the men who made possible the travels of geologists and prospectors who helped open the Canadian North. Planes that were ill-equipped and unreliable made the early days of flying hazardous for the bush pilot but he looked on danger as part of his life. For all those who are interested in the early days of Canadian development and are intrigued by man's ability to thrive in the face of danger, for all those who love action and adventure, Bush Pilots should prove exiting and rewarding reading. - from the cover
