California expands Medfly quarantine and deploys WWII cargo planes
California broadens its Medfly quarantine to northern San Benito and all of Santa Cruz counties as three four engine DC4 aircraft join the effort in the San Joaquin, Santa Clara and Salinas valleys. Findings include fertile flies and a larva outside sprayed zones in Hollister Ben Lomond and Woodside. The spread follows resistant outbreaks despite aggressive spraying.
