These items were given to the donor by a family member of Bob Reeves. The family member held onto these memorabilia for many years.
Reeve Aleutian Airways, Inc. has been in operation since 1932 when its founder, Bob Reeve, began flying miners and their supplies into gold mines in Alaska that were accessible only by air.
During World War II, Reeve was the only civilian authorized to fly in the Aleutian Islands area, and following the war he began scheduled commercial air service (passengers, freight and mail) from Anchorage to the Alaska Peninsula and the Aleutian, Shumagin and Pribilof Islands. Reeve Aleutian Airways has held fast to Bob Reeve's motto, "Anywhere you'll ride, I'll fly!"
