Alaska's Father Goose
Category: Regional: U.S.: Alaska
Author: William F. Cass Jr., editor
Copyright/published Year: 2010 by Hancock House
ISBN: 9780888396518
Binding: trade pap
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. Nicknamed
Father Goose because of his many thousands of hours piloting the
Grumman JRF Goose, Captain Gerald A. Bud Bodding's career began
in the age of the Curtiss Jenny and lasted through Alaska
Airlines' jets. Graduating as a commercial pilot in 1939 from the
then premier flying academy in America, the Ryan School of
Aeronautics in San Diego, Bodding began a remarkable aviation
career as a junior pilot with three of Alaska's flying legends:
Shell Simmons, Bob Reeve, and Bob Ellis. Bodding's logbooks read
like a roster of the great planes from aviation's Golden Age, and
include time in the Ryan STA, Fairchild 71, Lockheed Vega, and
Waco YKS-6, among many others.
