Reseña del editor:
For five decades, beginning in 1933, Duncan McLaren has been dedicated to planes. He serviced them, flew them, tested them, and later in his career, he leased, traded, and bought them. McLaren flew the Canadian Arctic, the uncharted Labrador, and the bush country of the north for the Hudsons Bay Company. In World War II, he was a civilian pilot doing the priority work of testing military aircraft. In 1953 he went to work for Central British Columbia Airways, soon to be re–named Pacific Western Airlines. His story includes the development of PWA from its beginnings as a bush line, its corporate acquisitions, and the part it played in the construction of the DEW Line in the 1950s. In 1962 his aviation interests expanded with a move to the United States and the worldwide leasing of transport aircraft, including the conversion of the fleet to jet aircraft. Eight years later, McLaren was assigned, as president and CEO, to the financially troubled Interior Airways, of Alaska. He describes the State of Alaskas first bankruptcy and how he salvaged the airline.

Descripción Hardcover. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. First Edition. [8], 294 pages. Generously illustrated with black and white reproductions of archival photos. "For five decades, beginning in 1933, Duncan McLaren has been dedicated to planes. He serviced them, flew them, tested them and later in his career, he leased, traded and bought them. Now, from the resources of his life-long experience, he is writing, again about planes. [He] tells a remarkable story with humour, and in meticulous detail that will satisfy the most demanding aviation, arctic and business specialist." - dust jacket. "In 1933, my aviation beginning year, I knew of no one who envisioned the tremendous technological developments that would revolutionize air transportation during one life term. It is said that hindsight is usually more accurate than foresight and it is my though that this record will set forth the progress of such advances, within the sphere in which I functioned." - Preface. Prior owner's details atop front free endpaper, otherwise unmarked with moderate wear. Binding sound. Light wear to dust jacket which is now preserved in archival-grade Brodart.
