"...the rousing story of Bob Reeve, Alaska's first glacier pilot, and one of the tough, salty, adventuring bunch of bush pilots who pioneered Alaska's skies in single-engine planes without communications, navigational aids, or airfields." "In 1932 when Bob Reeve climbed off a freighter in Valdez, Alaska, he was broke, ill, and without a plane to fly. Today Reeve is running a successful commercial airline through the worst weather in the world along the fog-shrouded Aleutian chain." "Reeve has made a career of soing the kind of flying that no one else wanted to do, and his exploits have earned him the name 'Half-Bird.'"
