Zustand: New. Russ Baker was the last of the great bush pilots,' writes Pierre Berton of the man who founded Pacific Western Airlines. After reading about the remarkable events detailed in this book, few will want to argue with Berton's assessment of his high-flying friend, but back in 1946 when Baker was only one of a host of hopeful young barnstormers setting out to challenge aviation history in rickety biplanes, no one would have believed that 38 years later his 'unlikely little airline' would be the third-largest in Canada, grossing over $300 million and employing some 3500 persons. . . The story of PWA's rise is unlike that of either of its major competitors, Air Canada and CP Air . . PWA on the other hand, grew naturally out of the great Canadian bush flying tradition and fought its way to the top entirely under its own power. Reading this fascinating account of haphazard beginnings, deadly competition, tragic crashes, and management turbulence, it would seem the company's fate was often in the lap of the gods, and the reasons for PWA's eventual triumph become clear only under the author's careful examination of the record and exhaustive interviewing of all participants. The history of Pacific Western Airlines, founded by one of the greatest bush pilots in the world, Russ Baker. 235 pages, 24 unnumbered pages of plates: illustrations, portraits; 24 cm.
