The
Big Dipper Route
A Canadian Arctic Adventure book
by Danny Bereza
What
do you do if you're flying through fog over the Arctic
ocean, the nearest land is 200 miles away and your fuel
gauges are hovering near zero?
Or you've been ordered to fly a dying native Canadian
to hospital but he's begging you to take him back to
his beloved wilderness to die in peace?
Or you're marooned alone in minus 40 degree temperatures
with a plane that won't fly, no radio, and the nearest
help a thousand miles away?
These are just a few of the problems that face the young
Danny Bereza in his new job flying the 'Big Dipper Route'
over the wilds of the Canadian North during the early
days of the passenger arctic routes. In this stunning
book, a true story, we see the inexperienced pilot develop
as a person through solving the problems he encounters,
and we gain a unique insight into the life of those
days, as well as experiencing through his eyes the beauties
and dangers of the Arctic environment.
"An
extraordinary book, a real page-turner, both beautiful
and exhilarating from one moment to the next"
