“What does it take
from an oil company
to run an airlift?”
Ever since mid-summer of 1950,
military activity in Korea has called for
heavy transpacific air traffic by civilian cargo
planes. Over one of their routes they fly a
round trip of 13,450 miles—some twenty-six
times the length of the famous airlift into
Berlin. Hundreds of companies help sup
ply this operation. Maybe you'd like to
know what it takes from an oil company to
run an airlift.
Standard’s part in the Pacific airlift
shows that it’s a big help to have large
companies on hand when the going gets
rough. Our work is focused mainly at Wake
Island, that pinpoint some 4000 miles from
the U. S. West Coast. After World War II,
Wake was a refueling stop for commercial
airliners en route to the Orient. But then
came the struggle at the 38th parallel—
*
Before trouble kindled in
Korea, only 20 planes a week re
fueled at Wake. Then that num
ber multiplied many times. We’d
been supplying gas to the island;
when the U. S. asked us to step
up deliveries, we were able to do
it. As a big, integrated company,
we called on our own tanker fleet.

To secure the special loading^
equipment needed by the ground y
crews, a Standard ship picked up the —
nearest available—at far-off Canton "S
Island. And at U. S. request, we I
helped build new storage facilities ■
along Wake’s runways.

^ As air activity
stepped up even more,
* Wake needed larger
' ground crews. Again,
Standard’s bigness
? helped.Using facilities
in Honolulu, vve quickly
trained men, tripled
our Wake manpower.

To keep Wake ami the airlift
supplied on a regular basis,
Standard drew once more on its
tanker fleet. We now operate a
shuttle service to Wake from the
Pacific Coast. Again, being big
and having our own facilities helps
us serve.

Of course, the transpacific airlift starts
in America, and at home on this end of the
route Standard keeps some 10 airlines sup
plied with aviation gasoline. It would take a
stack of drums o mile high to hold our in
creased daily output for this use. At the same
time, we’re also supplying military needs...
and our usual volume for motorists.
