Commercial Air Flights Over Polar Region Rated Feasible
The Pacusan Dreamboat B 29 flight from Honolulu to Cairo tested polar air service feasibility for communications. Lt Col Shannon noted sunspot flareups blocked high frequencies but low frequency signals could sustain routes with key stations. The crew, led by Col Irvine, said the mission proved U S defense reach and gathered data on navigation weather and endurance. The aircraft landed at Payne Field after 39 hours 36 minutes, after carrying a heavy fuel load and flying mostly above icing conditions.
