NAVY FLYERS BEING EQUIPPED
TO MAP ISLANDS OF ALASKA
Aerial Expedition to Start in June on Ex-
ploration Trip Over Three
Great Areas.

BY the Associated Press.
The secrets that 10000 square miles
of Alaska's rugged frontier hold beyond
the ken of man and his dog teams are
to be sought this Summer by naval
aviators.
The second Alaskan aerial expedition
is preparing to explore and map three
great Alaskan islands-Baranoff, Chi
chagof and Kuiu--as well as the main
land from Cleveland Peninsula TO
Berners Bay.
Three Looming amphibian planes,
carrying the naval aviators, photogra-
pliers and a Typographical engineer,
will take of from San Diego early in
May, with the icy waters of a bay near
Juneau, Alaska, as their destination.
The u. s. s. Ganet, mine sweeper
assigned as an aircraft tender, will pre-
cede the expedition TO Alaska.
Possible Discoveries Listed.
Vast timber resources, untold hydro
electric power, as well as valuable min
erals are believed hidden in the most
inaccessible regions. All of the area
to be mapped lies within the Tongass
National Forest, estimated as one OF
Americas greatest timber assets.
The naval aviators will determine by
thir Photographic maps, embracing
every inch of the territory, just how
great these resources are and how best
they can be exploited.

Bad Landing Saves
Pilot When Plane
Bounds Over Ditch
Trundle Escaped Crash
In Coming Down on
Field Without Lights.

There are times when faulty flying
has its advantages, according to Lieut..
Wilson B. Trundle, better known to
aviators as Bunny Trundle, former
Marine Corps flyer who now is a pilot
at Washington Airport.
Trundle believes that he was saved
from bad crash by a bungled landing
Lieut.. Trundle, then still in the Ma
rines, was flying at night over Mary
land. He knew he was in the vicinity
Of Logan Field. Baltimore. but there
were no lights to guide him TO a land
ing or give him any idea of the terrain
below.
He judged the location of the field
perfectly and dropped into it out of
the darkness, without knowing that
since his last visit long ditch had been
dug across the center of the field for
the laying of sewer main. The ditch
was 6 feet deep and quite wide.
In the darkness Trundle misiudged
his height from the ground and made a
bad two point" landing. AS it hap
pened, however, he hit the brink of the
ditch hard enough to bounce the ship
across to perfect landing op the
other side. Had he made a good land
ing the first time he doubtless would
have dropped into the hole at speed of
more than so miles an hour.
