Hearts of Courage is a true story of Alaska Aviation, perseverance, faith and prayers answered.
“The story is more than an account of a crash in Bush Alaska, it is more a testament of faith and courage of Joe Tippets and his fellow cabin mates…and of Tippets’ wife, who always believed that her husband would return. Enduring freezing nights, with little food, and abosulutely no promise of rescue, four individuals persevered to live one of Alaska’s greatest aviation stories.” – Rob Stapleton, Alaska Journal of Commerce.
“John’s thorough research and attention to detail transports us back in time to become part of these miraculous events in the lives of Joseph and Alta Tippets.” — Jeffrey Johns, Curator, American Airlines C.R. Smith Museum
“None can match the Gillam crash survivors for sheer heroism in the face of impossible odds. Their courage was inspiring!” — Ric Gillespie, Executive Director, The International
Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR)
Hearts of Courage can be purchased at Deseret Book for $19.95.
