Awesome footage

woww

I flew Alaska until Dec. 74. I have yet to see a plane in the Inlet at Anchorage

There's a picture of The Texan, posted on a facebook page devoted to the history of my hometown, Gig Harbor, WA; wonder if Mattern was enroute to Alaska?

I was in a crash in 1991. No positive comments from here.

I cannot find any evidence to support the idea that Lincoln Ellsworth was on this PBY Catalina flight with Sir Hubert, or ever in Fort Smith NWT, Canada. There is nobody in this video clip who resembles Ellsworth, either.

The footage in this film appears to be exclusively Libby's Bristol Bay operations. The cannery footage appears to be the Graveyard plant on the Kvichak River, a cannery where my father worked many years as a cannery tender skipper. I wish he were alive to see this, it's great footage. I belive the cannery tender at 4:24 may be the Beaver. The yellow color of the boat hulls made it easy to spot company boats on the water.

In America they recognized Inuit is indigenous to the land but in VN Vietnamese they not recognized Montagnard indigenous to the land they called us ethnic seem like we are not belong to the land and we have no indigenous rights also Vietnamese to racism.

Ya lost the sound track? Lol

I studied theatre at Theatre UAF from 1981-1986. Graduated in 1986 with a BA Theatre. Lee Salisbury was one of my reasons I went on to a wonderful career in the performing arts.

these guys were still using Mercury o.O 4:15

My family and I were in Fairbanks, during this flooding. We were on 16 street in upstairs apartment. The water flooded the lower floor of unit, so two families came up to our apartment. We now grew from a family of 4 to family of 12. Our second son was a new baby, born April 3, 1967 at the small Alaskan hospital in Fairbanks.Our morning started out early with heavy military equipment helping some families. One of the units there where we were had a wonderful doctor, and he administered Typhoid shots to all. We were taken in boat to his apartment and then given the shots. I had a reaction to the typhoid shot. I went into anaphylactic shock. I could hear everyone talking, but my motor skills were dead. After 7 days with swirling waters, and many people in our small apartment, the water level went down. My husband went downstairs, to our small VW bug, and attempted to start it. It immediately started. but as one can imagine, it was soaked and smelly from the waters. My husband was working in the civilian department of Fort Wainright. He managed to get early release from his job, and got us out by plane, back to California.I am sorry I did not get out much as I took care of our two babies, plus a neighbor child. Our two years was not to eventful. We do have some happy moments in Fairbanks, however.

I was there. My dad was stationed at Ft Wainwright and we lived in off base housing. I was 10 years old and attended Chena Elementary school. I remember the flood vividly and the earthquake the next year.

Feels bad, man just wanted to follow his dream and a bunch of Germans got sent to 1977 Alaska.

That plane is still there to this day I flew over it in a c172

The skills the Eskimo people have developed from generation to generation just to stay alive in such a cold climate are to be admired and respected. Even with such a difficult life there seems to be a lot of smiles, enjoyed watching this valuable piece of history.

Cause?

Super sad I live in the great alaska 2019

This is very interesting....My uncle Weaver's oral history of life in Alaska during the 40's, 50's and 60's. I am amazed at how sharp his memory was at 90 years old.

32000 a year? I could do it for a third of that.

I participated in the race, 1968. Ninty-six rafts started the race and only thirteen finished. The rest broke up in the river. No drownings, but it was a miracle. We finished sixth. 568th Transportation Company, Ft Wainwright. I think back on it often.

Thanks for this video. Love to see historical videos. Especially the ones dear to you

Last part of the film is in Wrangell. Note the wigwam burner at the sawmill in front of AJ Mill?

Very inefficient but cool!

It's the white people they always break the law and kill moose bears .and any kind of animals .why do you think they ars moving to alaska because they don't care.get drones and catch even close to the artic circle.kot of trophy hunters sneaking around there and pilots are getting paid lots of money to keep there mouth shut.

Ha! I worked at Goldies on 4th ave! Last time I was in Anchorage 12 years ago it was "The Hub" bar.
