Summary: excellent advice, but pricey
Comment: This book was assigned to me as homework for Andover Flight Academy's bush-flying course. I found that most if it didn't apply to the sort of flying I expect do, which is improved grass fields, on wheels. (The airport would be very annoyed if I made an actual bush landing.) Potts for good reason devotes a lot of space to sandbars, snow, and sub-zero and ski-plane operations, and to my regret I'll probably never do any of that.

So the book for me came down to three chapters: takeoffs, approaches, and landings. These are valuable but very short. (Chapter 18 on landings is a bit more than five pages!) There are some useful black-white photographs, all at the back of the book.

For those in the market for an airplane, Potts explains the quirks and advantages of the PA-18 Super Cub and the Cessna 180, but doesn't branch out to the Aviat Husky, despite the fact that it was in production when the book came out in 1993.

I bought my copy through Amazon, but as a secondhand book in good condition, which brought it down to a more reasonable price. Generaly there are several used or Marketplace copies available.

Summary: Don't fly the bush without having read it--
Comment: Not only everything you need to know about bush flying, but everything you didn't know you need to know about bush flying.
