Men against the north–a story of the ferry command, Air Transport, & of Dooley, who had 20 years’ record of success in commercial air flight, only to come down, icebound, somewhere in the unchartered northland. Dooley was dean of a close knit group, & everything else took second place as the men came into headquarters, & set out again to find him. An unknown lake–beyond unknown mountains–a time schedule–& faith–such alone they had to go on, hampered by Army red tape, lack of radio contact, navigation rules upset by the frozen north. The story shifts from Dooley’s experiences, with the five men who counted on him, to the men who sought him. Starkly told–another segment of understanding of total war.–Kirkus
