Flying to Extremes. Memories of a Northern Bush Pi
Category: Biography
Author: Dominique Prinet
Copyright/published Year: 2022 by Hancock House
ISBN: 9780888391452
Binding: Trade Pap
Recalling some of the most memorable escapades ever conducted in
the Canadian Arctic with bush planes, Flying to Extremes takes
place in the late '60s and early '70s from a base at Yellowknife,
in the heart of the Northwest Territories.
Beyond recounting so many near-mishaps, this book is also
about colourful people: the trappers, prospectors, miners,
adventurers and gold-ingot thieves who constituted the fauna at
the main bar in Yellowknife in those days. For Arctic dreamers,
there was always the flight to the Nahanni River, with its
Deadman's Valley, hot springs, tales of lost or dead prospectors,
the many airplanes crashed in pursuit of gold, and much more
Nahanni lore.
This entertaining book recollects Prinet's adventures as a
young man while capturing the humour, beauty, danger and unique
culture of northern communities, in the dramatic landscape of the
Canadian Arctic. Readers familiar with the region and those who
can only dream of visiting it will both find this title a
nostalgic and captivating read.
