WAR DEPARTMENT IS
SENDING D0MBIN6 PLANES -
WASHINGTON-FAIRBANKS
TEN MARTIN BOMBING PLANKS,
TO FLY WASHINGTON TO
FAIRBANKS AND IIKTI'KN
—■■ ■ ■
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, June 22. The
War Department announced last
night that ten Martin bombing
planes would make a training an.1 j
photographic flight from Washing-)
ton, D. C., to Fairbanks and re
turn.
They will fly by way of Minneap
olis, Winnipeg, Regina, Edmonton.
Prince George and Whitehorse.
The flight It was stated, will be ,
made during the first two weeks
in July.
Twenty oCftcers and ten enlist
ed inen will make the trip, which
Is estimated, will take about 50
days. The -flight will be under the
command of Lieutenant '‘Colonel
Henry H. Arnold. Commanding
Officer of March Field, California.
ARMY BOMBING PLANES
TO FLY TO FAIRBANKS
WHY NOT TO NOME?
In today’s Associated Press dis
patches information was made
known of tip, scheduled flight of
ten Martin bombing planes of tilL
United ‘States Army, from Wash
ington, It. (’., to Fairbanks, an-i
return.
WlHY NOT TO NO.VIK TOO ?
The purpose ol' their flight is
for training and photographic ex
perience. Undoubtedly their fltgni
through Northwestern Canadian
territory will provide much ex
perience and training for the per
sonnel. But . If such a flight is going
to be made to Fairbanks, what
would prevent the squadron from
continuing on to Nome, a matter
of 540 miles further?
Somebody has been sleeping on
tha job! It’s up to Nome to see
that those Army planes do not
go back to Washington, I>. C„
without calling at Nome before
they return.
We have under construction at
Nome now, the largest field in
Alaska. It is considerably more
than one-half completed. It is in
tgood condition and any Martin
bombing plane could take off or
laud on the now tield with the
greatest margin of safety. Nome,
has, in the past, always been con
sidered a strategic point for air
craft demonstration.
If the Army wants training and
t*
photographic experience, and a
check-up on the flying conditions
in Alaska, they should surely make
the 510-miles flight'down the Yuk
on Uiver and over to Nome. Today
commercial planes make ,he flight
between Fairbanks and Nome, and
Nome and Fairbanks, with regular
dispatch and safety. Weather sta
tions along the route provide tha
necessary information before-hand
for such a flight (and only a few
hours elapse in making the trip.
It is our confirmed belief that
the squadron of Army bombers can
easily, and probably more efficient
ly make that flight. Their planes
should be equipped with the lat
est in scientific Instruments for
flying. The feasibility of the trip
Is assured. It Is entirely practical
for such a flight to be made. Noms
has all of the supplies and re
