A F Will Drop Scientific Base At South Pole
A seven man USS 18th Air Force survey team returned from the Antarctic with plans to airdrop a complete scientific base at the South Pole. The 485 tons of buildings, radio towers, gear and supplies aim to sustain researchers through January 1959 for the International Geophysical Year. Pilot Lt Ernest Schmid reported a whiteout blanking the pole and said radar helped track terrain as the ascent noted the pole around 9,000 feet above sea level. Capt Henry Partridge and Capt Arthur Grafe joined Maj Dooley Mallory and seven others, part of Operation Deepfreeze surveying for the geophysical year.
