This is the first comprehensive photographic history of Arctic aviation from 1926 to present. Author Bruce McAllister has interviewed many veteran Arctic pilots, some in their nineties, and gathered hundreds of photographs from around the world.

Wings Above the Arctic features chapters on Canadian, Russian, and U.S. pilots who have accomplished extraordinary flying feats in the Arctic. And there is even a chapter on those select pilots who have successfully flown over the North Pole. Other chapters highlight Greenland's key role in World War II, the DEW line, Alaska's oil strike, the Lindberghs' two pioneering flights through the Arctic, and a Canadian pilot's 58-day survival ordeal, illustrated throughout by a collection of unusual Arctic aerial photographs.
