Army Aviators Visit Butte On Furlough
Two army aviators Lieuts Isaac J Walters and G E Rice on furlough from Kelly Field Texas arrived at Butte National Airport in a Havilland series plane. They toured Anaconda Georgetown Lake and the smelter with James Smith of the Winter Garden Orchestra, planning to continue toward the Pacific coast after brief Sojourns. They described low level flying 800 to 1000 feet due to clouds and fog in the mountains.
