The photographs are at the center of the work, depicting the planes that flew above the arctic and the pilots that flew them. Distributed by Graphic Arts Center Publishing Company. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) WINGS ABOVE THE ARCTIC is the first comprehensive photographic history of arctic aviation.
