Dreamboat flight tests practicable top world airways
The Superfortress Dreamboat completed a 10,925 mile non stop Arctic route from Honolulu to Cairo in under 46 hours to prove commercial air service over the pole feasible for communications. Lt. Col. F J Shannon said high radio frequencies are blocked by sunspot flareups but a few low frequency stations could enable reliable trans polar air routes. Pilot Col C C Irvine stated the mission showed the aircraft could defend the United States globally, and noted the B 29 could have flown with a heavier fuel load though a bomb load was not carried.
