Island in the Sky, first published in 1944, is aviator Ernest Gann's exciting, realistic novel of survival in the far north of Canada.

This is a lesser known novel of Gann's but a great one. It concerns the Air Transport Service which few people know about. There is a gripping drama of a stranded crew and the efforts of their friends to find them. The book arrived in excellent time and very good condition.
