From a film on "Transportation in Alaska," shot in the Upper Lynn Canal/Haines region circa 1930s or early 1940s. This clip features aerial scenes of Juneau, the AJ Mine, and the Mendenhall Glacier. According to Wikipedia, the featured aircraft is a Keystone–Loening K-84 "Commuter" flying boat. This particular airplane was likely owned at one point by the White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad (B&W/Silent/16mm film).
Excerpted from AAF-6681 of the Colonel and Mrs. Ellis Altfather Film Collection held by the Alaska Film Archives, a unit of the Alaska and Polar Regions Collections & Archives Department in the Elmer E.
