treatment

1t is common for pilots to land with
wheels on river bars, tundra. and flats;
or with pontoons on unnamed rivers,
lakes, and inlets In winter, landing
with skis is considered safest of all Any
comparatively level place is a potential
landing field in emergency.
THERE are few fair aviation fields
= located near the larger towns.
Ninety fields are listed in the highway
engineers report, but many are so
primitive that pilots fresh from the
States view them with alarm or
amusement Almost any place where a
plane has landed twice is regarded as
a landing field
Extremely variable weather condi-
tions, together with incomplete weather
reports, contribute to disbursement
for Alaskan flying. The u. S. Weather
Bureau and T. S. Signal Corps CO.
operate closely in gathering reports
from about 70 official stations scattered
widely over the territory. 1t has only
been since 1929 that the Bureau in
augurated weather service for planes.
Pure instrument flying is unknown in
Alaska and only one company cqaips
its planes with two-way radio. This
lack of Communication is another diff

set down Roy Dieringer, chief bomber
for Reeve during the last four years,
has successfully dropped tons of freight,
becoming SO expert that he can bit a
I00-foot circle accurately
A Gibson mill was taken apart in
order to get it into the plane and was
landed In this manner The heaviest
piece weighed 300 pounds Parachutes
are used for breakables which are often
landed within 100 feet OF the mine tun-
neIs or cook shack
EstoIl Call, private pilot for mining
company at Hughes, cleared the rocks
from a space just wide enough for a
runway on A mountain side in order
that he might land uphill at about a
25-degree angle when the wind condi
tons ia the canyon were right. thus
saving a long hike from the bottom Of
the canyon TO the mine high on the
mountain side. Once he saw large
boulder in the middle of his two-by-

a big brown bear which Call frightened
away By looming over him couple of
times.

Guilty that pilots must face.
Each pilot needs TO be something OF
a mechanic also in case OF forced land
ings. With rapid growth OF aviation
more repair shops are being installed
Two new ones have been licensed DUR
ing the past year.
Arctic aviators are among the worlds
best. They need to be to fly success
fully under the handicaps IN land
nearly devoid of aviation aids. They
must have more than an ordinary
amount of good judgment, resourceftIl-
ness, and courage They must have a
keen eye coupled with good memory
sense Of direction
Two years ago d call came for Art
Gillian at Cordova to fly to Nabesna
mine where mine official had been
seriously injured and il was necessary
To take him to hospital Immediately.
It took II men to hold Gillam's plane
against a gale while he climbed in. He

Landed near the mine to pick up the
injured man and flew on TO Fairbanks
where an ambulance met him at the
aviation field to rush the man to the
hospital The injured man lived.
THERE are certain things about Alas
kan flying that can only be learned
through experience
The few hangers make it imperative
that when a plane is landed in water
the skis be blocked up to prevent them
from freezing to the snow. Oil must be
drained and moved to a warm place
along with the battery. The motor Is
covered and finsy wing covers are pat
on to keep frost from gathering
The pilot must dig ice bridges to tie
his plane to. To put a plane away
properly requires about an hour, but
two or more hours are usually spent in
preparing the ship for flight the next
morning In sub-zero weather the pilot
must stand by with fire extinguisher
while plumbers fire pot under the
motor heats il sufficiently for starting.
In case of forced landings with pas
sengers. the pilot must be cook, hunter,
trapper, wo0dsman, and mechanic
always considering the safety OF his
passengers first. Each plane is equipped
with concentrated rations and gum
In winter sleeping bags and snowstoes
are carried. There have been very few
casualties in Alaskan flying I'm propor-
ton to the amount of flying done.

consider II all in days work They
have to do this because there are few

Ne place else in the world does air

More than 1000 600 pounds of freight

Besides the lack of good landing
fields. Alaskan flyers must face foggy
coastal weather, lack Of communication
incomplete weather reports, few repair
shops, short hours of daylight in winter
no besconed, lighted or even marked
air routes, and equipment not designed
especially for the rigors of sub-zero
flying
