About the Book

Occasionally tense, frequently humorous, and always straightforward, Alaska's Father Goose is a celebration of flight, a wartime memoir, a history of airline growth, and ultimately a quintessentially Sourdough success story.

About the Author :
Captain Gerald A. Bud Bodding was of one of Alaska's legendary bush pilots, and his moniker Father Goose came about because of his extensive experience flying the Grumman Goose amphibious aircraft, itself a legend in Alaska's post-WWII, commercial aviation history. Growing up in Juneau in the 1920s, Bud was bitten by the flying bug at an early age and could not wait to learn to fly. Shortly after earning his private pilot's license, he was off to the San Diego-based Ryan School of Aeronautics, then the pre-eminent flying school in the country. After receiving his commercial license at Ryan in the summer of 1939, Bud returned to Alaska and worked with three other legends in Alaskan aviation: Shell Simmons, Bob Reeves, and Bob Ellis. Early in his flying career, Bud survived a horrific crash at sea, nearly giving up hope for the eventual rescue that came just in time, and afterwards served as a Navy pilot in the North Pacific where the weather could be just as fatal as enemy fire. After the war, Bud returned to commercial flying and was one of the founders of what eventually became Alaska Airlines. After his retirement from flying in October 1972, the following year he embarked on a second career conducting fishing charters on his 40-foot cruiser for eleven years, after which he finally truly retired, although he remained busy with various activities throughout his life. Bud passed away at age 88 in Ketchikan, Alaska in 2006, and is survived by his three children and many grandc
