[Allan · Rating 4 out of 5]

An excellent, personal account of helicopter bush flying in northern Canada in the 50's and 60's. What I particularly enjoyed about this book is the author's 'no holds barred' commentary on living conditions , unethical companies, poachers and trophy hunters and other ill-sorted humanity. What emerges from his commentary is Corley-Smith's strong sense of justice and distaste for the unscrupulous. Too many memoirs and reminiscences just gloss over these concerns and issues . Should be required reading for company executives who issue unrealistic mandates for workers in the field.
