$100,000,000 Alaska
Base Equipment
lasted Surplus
j UNEAU — All constr u c t i o n
equipment for what was to have
been the world’s largest military
air base has been declared surplus
and will be offered for sale, the
Army disclosed today.
Said to be valued at more than
$100,000,000, the surplus property
includes vast amounts of machin
ery, lumber, cement and other
construction equipment. Designa
ted as “Project Nan,” the airbase
site is in the Kougarok district.
Although the project was classi
fied as a top military secret and
no information was made public
in the United States, Russian pil
ots ferrying planes from Alaska to
Russia flew over the site daily
and had full knowledge of its
progress, the Army said.
Engineers hadn’t determined
the best site for the giant base and
had several under consideration
when the war ended and halted
thfc preparations. “Project Nan”
would have consisted of several
airstrips long enough for Ameri
ca’s heaviest bombers, together
with a number of satellite fields.
Hangars and other important
structures were to have been un
derground.
Hal—“When I tore February
off my calendar, there was April!
Cal—Somebody stole a March
on you.
They’re jamming ’em in tighter
than ever on public conveyances.
Even some of the men have to
stand.
