SUCCESS ON THE STEP
Flying with Kenmore Air
by C. Marin Faure

Success on the Step is the story of Kenmore Air, a floatplane operation located in the Pacific Northwest. It's the story of a unique group of people. They happen to be people who've done amazing things with seaplanes. Success on the Step is about glacier landings and mountain rescues and threading a fascinating variety of seaplanes through the mistshrouded islands of the Pacific Northwest. It is also a story of how to succeed in business. For Kenmore Air's real triumph has been demonstrating that the only truly reliable ingredients for success are honesty, integrity, and respect. 434 Pages
