LET US NOT FORGET A CROSS-RUNWAY
Nome, without doubt, has one of the finest airfields
in the territory, now that maintenance work has placed
it in condition for the summer traffic. There is only one
distinct disadvantage to it and that is, it is only a single
runway pointing approximately North and South. Its
width is something over 200 feet and its length is more
than 4400 feet.
Cross winds blowing during the summer time
make it exceedingly dangerous for our present-day high
speed passenger and freight planes to land or take off
from the Nome airport. Repeated efforts on the part
of aviation concerns, individuals and public organiza
tions have so far proved fruitless to obtain a cross run
way. However, the subject is not a dead one. Nome is
in actual need of some kind of cross field. Several near
accidents due to cross winds have occurred at various
times during the past winter and spring.
Aviation men suggest that the type of cross run
way needed is one which would form the letter “X”.
In that way much of the present runway could be util
ized in the cross-field. They all admit that a cross run
way would not have to be very long, but between 800
and 1.000 feet from one end to the other, including part
of the present field.
The present field is sufficiently long so that even
round-the-world fliers heavily loaded with gasoline
could even take off from it, with a favorable wind.
What should be of grave importance to Nome and
the Territory as a whole, is the steady advance of com
mercial and territorial aviation, and the supplying of
safe advantages and facilities to the planes which op
erate from the field every day of the year.
We don’t believe the matter should be allowed to
remain idle any longer—until a serious crash or acci
dent might result in death to passengers—before any
thing is done to install such a cross runway. Now is
the time to work for that necessary feature to safe and
sane flying in the North.

of both fighting at once.—Akron Beacon-Journal.

wrecked in a day.”—Chicago Tribune.
Why do we, when greeting a person, say "Good
Morning” when the weather might be almost intoler
able? Appears we are not sincere in our greetings.

On the alien ground of New Jersey, the proud German airliner, Hindenburg, lay a twisted mass of ,
junk when flames whieh destroyed it had died away. The first Zeppelin wrecked by accident since
1913, the huge ship fell in flames as she was about to land after her first transatlantic flight of the
■ 1937 season. This air view of the wreckage shows how completely the ship was destroyed. u
