This is the history of Alaska’s last legacy airline, Alaska Airlines, which transformed from a single-aircraft bush operator in 1932 to a major U.S. carrier serving a presentday network stretching from Barrow to Zihuatanejo and Boston to Honolulu. Character & Characters chronicles the unusual stories and colorful people behind this uncommonly independent airline. Character & Characters captures aviation history in Alaska for those who love the flying machines, and, more important, it captures the spirit of Alaska Airlines for those who admire people --Dr. Bonnie Dunbar, president of The Museum of Flight "Character & Characters" redefines the genre of airline histories. It is quite literally the only corporate biography worthy of an entire night in front of the fireplace. You'll close the book wanting more! --John J. Nance, aviation analyst, ABC World News |
