Weather makes Antarctic air mission vanish with nine aboard
Nine US aircraft crew aboard a Martin Mariner vanished after taking off from the Mt. Olympus to photograph a polar region. Bad weather prevented search by Pine Island in the Pacific as radio chatter indicated the plane was over the Roosevelt seacoast. The plan was to fly a 10 hour, 1,350 mile mission, fuel sufficient for 21 hours, with no confirmed location as rescue efforts drift.
