Jets Drive Arctic Patrols Signal Jet Era in Polar War Plans
Air Force assigns an entire jet fighter squadron to Alaska for early mass tactical Arctic operations. About 24 aircraft will test performance in extreme cold and aid future jet design while a year end report notes 17 new aircraft orders, most jet powered, with bombers following the trend. The move accompanies broader Arctic maneuvers by ground and naval forces as global tension rises. In a separate note, Mountain City Temple No. 14 Pythian Ladies meet January 3 electing officers and planning a hospital visit and a reception for outgoing M. E. C. Mrs. Clem.
