Soviet fliers forced down on Miscou Island New Brunswick
Rescuers scrambled as Brigadier General Vladimir Kokkinaki and Major Mikhail Gordienko set down on a frozen marsh near Miscou Island while attempting a Moscow to New York non stop flight. Kokkinaki suffered two broken ribs and the aircraft was wrecked. A rescue effort involving planes from New York and Moncton faced landing hurdles as officials planned transport to Moncton and onward to New York. Ulysses Bourgeois and Marcel Therriault undertook a perilous ice crossing to aid Kokkinaki, reaching the island late in the day.
