Wes Lematta oral history recording

Description

An audio recording of an oral history of Wes Lematta, helicopter pilot and founder of Columbia Helicopters, about the use of helicopters in lumber operations. Wes explains the process of collecting lumber while using a helicopter as well as the benefits. With the lack of roads they are able to go places other people were not able to travel to. This is one of the first businesses to do this job using a helicopter, doing business all over Oregon and in San Bernardino, California. A phone interruption occurs at 2:15.
