A Life Aloft: From Montana Roots to Pan Am Wings

From the majestic Big Sky country of Montana to the remote, unrelenting wilds of Alaska, from wartime Europe to war torn Southeast Asia, from the boundless South Pacific to the eerily desolate North Pole--and nearly all points in between--Jack Burke's seventy-five years of flying carried him there.

Jack's aviation career which spanned eight decades, placed him at the controls of nearly every new plane to "fly the line," and crossed paths with dozens of memorable characters. From ski-planes to 747's, "smoke bombs and trapdoors" to smothering fog and hellish winds, ice storms to sweltering heat, dog team drivers and sextants to the most sophisticated equipment of the day--Jack Burke had seen and flown through it all. Now you can ride along with him, sharing first-hand all the thrills, chills, and occasionally, near-spills of a unique and remarkable life aloft.
