H. M. Bixby, vice president of
the Pan American Airways, vis
itor recently in Nome with a
party of distinguished aviation
officials.
“Such a service is what we
have in mind, declared Mr. Bix
by, “and we hope to have the
way cleared soon so that we can
go ahead with all necessary ar
rangements. The chief necessity
now is proper landing fields and
> auxiliary services. Alaska’s pres
ent commercial fields will not
suffice for landings and take-offs
of ships of the size and power
we would operate.
“Fairbanks will be our north
ern objective and landing place
under normal conditions, and
Seattle our southern, and we will
land at Metlakatla. Ketchikan
and Juneau.
Field Needs
“We must have long concrete
runways. Dirt fields would not
sustain the planes and their
loads. Not only a proper field at
Fairbanks is desired, but also
| fields at Anchorage, and possibly
, at Tanacross or vicinity, and pos
sibly at McGrath or some other
point in the Kuskokwim valley
and one or two other northern
and western Alaskan points.”
Mr. Bixby intimated that the
army fields will be made avail
able for the stratoliners.
“We need different fields in
this section of Alaska,” said Mr.
Bixby, “so that if weather is not
suitable for landing in one sec
tion we can fan out over an al
ternate route for a sure landing.
Fields now being installed or
planned in southeastern Alaska,
including Metlakatla will be a
great help. It is not likely we
will be interested in adjacent
Canadian territory, as it is desir
