Description

Island in the Sky, first published in 1944, is aviator Ernest Gann's exciting, realistic novel of survival in the far north of Canada. The Corsair, a plane attached to the Army Air Transport Command during the Second World War, is forced to land after heavy icing of the wings makes the plane unflyable. The crew look to Dooley, the pilot for guidance in order to survive the frigid conditions, and from support bases and search aircraft, a rescue mission is mounted. Island in the Sky was the subject of a 1953 movie starring John Wayne.

Publisher's Note, Nov. 26, 2015: Note that a recent reviewer's comment stating that the book 'lacks many parts...including the entire completion" is not accurate. Our editions of Island in the Sky contain the full and complete text of the book as written by author Ernest Gann.
