company traces its lineage to the Yukon's first airline
Clyde Wann's Yukon Airways and Exploration Company of 1927.

Route to the Klondike recounts
the recollections of many of the Yukon's pioneer airmen and
is filled with early Yukon aviation maps and memorabilia.

collection of stories offers the reader an insight to the
Yukon's aviation trailblazers who paved the way for today's
commercial aviation with flair and determination.
