Description

For 40 years, Wayne was a pilot who served wilderness areas along the Alaska Highway accessible only by helicopter. His book brings you in the cockpit as he herds reindeer, fights wildfires, flies for the controversial wolf cull, comes face-to-face with a grizzly and leads search and rescue missions with tragic outcomes--often in 40-below temperatures.

While Wayne helped others through their distress, he experienced a great tragedy of his own--the bizarre and untimely death of his only son, fellow pilot, Capt. John Wayne Bailey. Haunted by the shadow of tragedy and plagued by unanswered questions, this harrowing and heartbreaking memoir is also the story of an anguished father in pursuit of truth.

Told with honesty and humour, My Life in the Northern Skies is Wayne's inspiring story of overcoming challenges to pursue his dream of flying those big beautiful hummingbirds in the sky.
