What No Landing Field?

What…No Landing Field? Adventures of an Alaskan Seaplane Pilot: is the story of Robert E. (Bob) Ellis, pioneer Alaska aviator and founder of Ellis Air Lines. Bob Ellis flew to Alaska in 1929, just two years after Lindbergh's historic flight across the Atlantic. Alaska was even more remote and thinly populated in the 1930's, 40's and 50's than it is now, and aviation was a major contribution to the development of the territory. Bob's wife, Peg, throughout the over 50 years of their marriage, kept the scrapbook which adds the perspective of his family, his passengers, and his community. The story, first told by Bob Ellis himself, and then through newspaper articles, airline memorabilia, and images from Bob's collection of Alaska photographs, makes this edition a unique blend of autobiography, Alaska aviation history, and life in the Alaska Territory.
