Land Here? You Bet! The True Adventures of a Fledgling Bush Pilot in Alaska and British Columbia in the Early 1950's: It's spring, 1951. The cold war between Russia and the United States is in full swing, and the Coast and Geodetic Survey (a forerunner of NOAA) is charged with the daunting task of mapping the territory of Alaska so the government can install a radar alert system. For Ted Huntley, a twenty-year-old college student and pilot, this creates the opportunity of a lifetime. In spite of his youth and lack of bush experience, he is tapped as a last minute replacement in a team of seasoned bush pilots hired by the Survey.

Huntley's initiation into the world of bush flying unfolds over two summers in Alaska, as he hauls surveyors and their equipment in a brand-new Super Cub. But it takes one more summer to complete his education, this time in British Columbia, flying men and equipment off and on a glacier for a prospecting company.

Land Here? You Bet! Is a coming-of-age adventure tale and an entertaining primer on bush flying. It is also an inspiration to all who seek the courage to go after their dreams.
