Jack Jefford saw his first plane in 1916 at the age of six and he
was hooked. By 1937 he was flying planes in Nome, Alaska and in
three short years he became the Chief Pilot of the FAA. Â He
daily faced the dangers of Alaska’s skies, helped settle a
frontier, and managed to survive long enough to share a lifetime of
stories—delivering mail by plane, hunting coyotes, counting
reindeer, transporting prisoners and congressmen, and rescuing the
lost and injured, often at great risk to himself. Â
