Then the Eagles Flew. A Short Travel Tale from the West. By Jónas Jónasson.
Hörður Guðmundsson showed up with a small plane in Ísafjörður and planned to stay for three months. The stay stretched out and when Hörður and his wife left, they had founded and run the Enir Air Company in Ísafjörður for a quarter of a century. During that time, Hörður became a nationally renowned pilot, not least for his bravery in air ambulances, which he carried out under the most difficult conditions for years, thus saving many lives. This book tells of the air ambulance and various other events in Hörður's eventful career; flights with schoolchildren, ministers, candidates and many others to the west, a spectacular flight that ended with the plane's propellers cutting off, an emergency flight for the International Red Cross in Africa, the fight for Ernir's existence, serious plane crashes in the history of the company and much more. This is the story of an extraordinary hero of the day that the people of the Westfjords and many others will remember for a long time. (Cover text).
