Description
Based on interviews, newspaper accounts, books, and supporting documents, this history of Alaska Airlines tells of the company's triumphs and tragedies during the pioneer era of aviation in the land known for cold and gold. This book was written as an alternative history to that which is portrayed in the book The Alaska Airlines story by Archie Satterfield and in the May 2017 issue of Alaska beyond, the airline's inflight magazine, both of which credit McGee Airways, founded by Linious McGee in 1932, as one of the parent airline. The Mills family, unhappy that earlier airlines operated by family members were omitted, claims this is inaccurate, as the true beginning of Alaska Airlines dates to Northern Air Service founded by Steve Mills in 1931. Its successor, Star Air Service, bought McGee Airways in 1935. The airline became Star Air Lines in 1937 and later Alaska Airlines in 1943. Discover the story behind the mystery by following the journey that reveals the airline's fascinating history including the truth of who began Alaska Airlines.
