The Map of My Dead Pilots is about flying, pilots, and stories we can not forget. From overloaded aircraft to hauling sled dogs and wings covered in ice, the narrative includes the technical side of flying, Alaska’s aviation history and a peek into a world of extreme physical danger and emotional toughness.
Colleen Mondor learned to fly when she was 18 and among many other aviation jobs spent four years as lead dispatcher for a bush commuter & charter airline in Fairbanks, AK. A longtime reviewer and columnist for Bookslut.com, she writes about aviation in Alaska and haunted places in Florida. More can be found at her website, chasingray.com.
