Flying

WT>HERE are few places in Northern Canada
where you can get i've miles away from
a good landing and there are similarly few in
Northern Siberia. Alaska is to a degree an ex-
ception, for 1t is so mountainous, but there has
been the same freedom from serious accidents
there as in Canada. It IS not as safe as the
typical Arctic, but safer than most temperate
zone routes. Landing places are even more
numerous on the ocean pack ice than on the
Arctic land
There have been three great Arctic airplane
myers so Tar. Rather, among all the splendid
men at work in the North three have SO far
attained enough publicity to make them famous
These are An1undSen with Ellsworth Byrd
with Bennett) and wilkins with Eielson)
The work Of Amundsen had no bearing on the
problem OF whether the landing places on the
pack ice are numerous, for he used flying
boat and landed in water. Byrds work is
equally without bearing on this problem for he
was not compelled to land nor did he land vol
unfairly. The most famous exploit of wilkins
and Eielson, when they flew from Alaska past
the North Pole to Spitzbergen, tells us nothing,
for they did not land till the 2,2OO-mile journey
had been brought to a successful end.
But on a previous flight, IN 1927 wilkins
and Ellison had landed three times at distances
OF $780, $40 and 100 miles from shore. The first
was forced landing in good weather, the Sec
ond was a forced landing in blizzard, and the
third, also forced had the combined handicaps
Of night darkness and thick. snowstorm They
were all safe landings, the first two followed by
takeoffs when repairs had been made, and the
third without take-o6 because the fuel was ex-
hausted. They were in line with the contention
OF wilkins that you are never out of reach of q
good landing place when flying the Arctic pack
in Winter.
When it comes to learning, there are two
kinds Of people-those who understand and
trust theories, and those who are impressed only
by what has been done. The first class were
convinced say, five years ago, that Arctic fly
ing conditions, whether over sea or land are
better on the average than flying conditions
over any lands or any seas in the tropic or tenn
perate zones.
II would estimate that the Arctic will come
into its own as the practical airplane thorough
fare between the commercial centers of the
United States and Canada on one side and
these OF Europe and Northern Asia on the other
in not much less than years, nor much more
than TO-"

has scattered level foes as emergency landing
fields literally IN every direction.
''It is the innumerable landing fields that
have made Arctic flying safer than any in the
tropic or temperate zones. Have you noticed
that not a single life has yet been lost in con-
nection with, let us say, $4,000 miles of Arctic
flying?
1T VIII Jump to your mind at once that the
great Arctic explorer, AmuEdsen with his Nor
wegtan and French companions was lost in
the Arctic He wasn't really-at least not I'M
der Arctic conditions. We define the Arctic Sea.
from the flying point Of view, as those waters
which have at least a certain amount of ice
floating around Amundsen was flying from
Norway, where there was no ice, he was
crossing waters that were wholly ice free
and his plane fell several hundred miles before
reaching the first ice cake. He was drowned.
as many other flyers have been, In the North
Atlantic, or at least under strictly North Allan
tic conditions. The only way you can blame the
Arctic for the death Of Amundsen was that he
was on his way to it when he lost his life
"The freedom from tragedy in the history
OF Arctic flying has been due to the high safety
factor provided by innumerable landing places.
Where the subsoil Is frozen, there can be NO
underground drainage, and where such drainage
Is ansent the rain waters stay where they fan.
ana there are bound to be ten times as many
lakes as IN any section where the ground Is
unIrozen Accordingly, Northern flyers can al
ways descend upon water In Summer with floats
and upon level lake Ice during the Winter
months with skis.
