In Fairbanks Alaska an intensive air search for Sigismund Levanevsky and four companions began as Jimmy Mattern and a Russian crew flew missions over the Beaufort sea. Barrow hosted the Russian and Canadian aviators who had reached the northern outpost after a catapulted landing from the ice-breaker Krassin.
