Merlyn Carter Bush Pilot is a rollicking read about an uncommon man in an uncommon place at an uncommon time.
While some called him lucky, many called Merlyn their best friend until a June day in 2005 when he lost a battle to the claws and jaws of a bear..
Merlyn always walked away.
Over the decades, his planes crashed into trees, broke through lake ice, twice flipped and once exploded.
He flew over trackless forest and tundra with a hand-drawn map.
As a teen, Merlyn piloted a military surplus bomber overloaded with Great Slave Lake whitefish across that wilderness, sometimes in 50-below cold.
Before civilization came to Canada\'s Northwest Territories, Bush pilots rescued the injured, brought in prospectors, and hauled cargo.
