Frank Lloyd Wright was the most influential architect of the twentieth century?and a rogue genius whose life was a wild ride. Wright routinely ignored unpaid bills, clients? wishes, budget constraints. Only his creative vision mattered to him. That vision transformed the way we live, sweeping aside the Victorian home and creating a uniquely American architecture exemplified by his Prairie Style houses. Wright built hotels, churches, and offices, too, incorporating endless innovations in techniques and materials. Ideas poured out of him throughout his long career; he called it ?shaking the design out of my sleeve.? Jan Adkins?s fascinating biography of this compelling, infuriating, largerthan- life figure will change the way every reader looks at architecture.

Bob Adkins came to Southeast Alaska in 1964, planning to stay a year or two at the most. Forty-eight years later he's still here, and has lived "The Alaskan Dream" that many imagine, but few fulfill. Bob learned to fly in 1966 and went on to obtain private, commercial, instrument, and multi-engine ratings. He also became a certified flight instructor, and flew 12 seasons as a commercial air taxi pilot. From the succinct entries that fill three pilot log books come most of the stories and events that comprise Panhandle Pilot. Some of the stories are amusing, some are ironic, some are sad, some are thought provoking. Panhandle Pilot also gives the reader insight into the air taxi industry that is so vitally important to residents and businesses in Alaska’s panhandle. Panhandle Pilot will provide entertaining and enjoyable reading for anyone interested in aviation and Alaskana.
