Description:
Occasionally tense, frequently humorous, and always ì
straightforward, Alaska's Father Goose is a celebration of ì
flight, a wartime memoir, a history of airline growth, and ì
ultimately a quintessentially Sourdough success story. Nicknamed ì
Father Goose because of his many thousands of hours piloting the ì
Grumman JRF Goose, Captain Gerald A. Bud Bodding's career began ì
in the age of the Curtiss Jenny and lasted through Alaska ì
Airlines' jets. Graduating as a commercial pilot in 1939 from the ì
then premier flying academy in America, the Ryan School of ì
Aeronautics in San Diego, Bodding began a remarkable aviation ì
career as a junior pilot with three of Alaska's flying legends: ì
Shell Simmons, Bob Reeve, and Bob Ellis. Bodding's logbooks read ì
like a roster of the great planes from aviation's Golden Age, and ì
include time in the Ryan STA, Fairchild 71, Lockheed Vega, and ì
Waco YKS-6, among many others.
