AUHK.I Allt MAIL PILOT
M.IKKH DARING PLIGHT
Fairbanks, Alaska. Feb. 25th—■
Pilot Carl B. Eilson who landed at
the Fairbanks field at 6:45 on. the
evening of February 214t. brought
to a successful conclusion the.initial
test of aerial mail service to the
interior of Alaska under winter con
ditions. In nine hours ttie flyer ac
complished what it would require
more than twice that " number ol
days for a clog team to do. It is
raid that the air mail service is the
only reliance that the outlying camps
have had of mail since the gold
strike days.
The trip over to McGrath was
.made in 2 hours and 55 minutes
without an incident out of the ordi
nary. On the return trip which was
begun at 2:35 p. m.. a faulty com
pass and u side wind coupled with
low visibility threw the plane out
of its course, which lay clown the
Kantishna Valley. For an hour and
twenty minutes Aviator Eilson was
lost over the vast wilderness, he
sought in all directions for Nenana
or some distinguishing mark. A
light in a cabin or probably the*
abode of a trapper in the flats north
east of the mouth of the Tolovana
River attracted the aviator, which
was the only habitation that he had
seen since leaving McGrath. Eli
son circled the light and picked out
a landing spot for an emergency.
With less than one hours gas be
again struck out. when half way up.
developed later to he Coldstream
Valley he sighted the beacon flare
lights on Fairbanks field and while
decending in the dark one Ski brush
ed against a tree and was knocked
loose, the landing gear was damaged
and the propellor was broken, the
returning trip on account of condi
tions mentioned forced the plucky
aviator to remain in the air for four
hours and ten minutes, upon arriv
ing in the hangar the daring aviator
was presented with a watch, a gift
from the community, which had
spent anxious hours on the field
awaiting the overdue plane.
Eilson delcares that the air mail
Service for McGrath is entirely feas
ible and he will make a second trip
within a week if repairs are com
pleted. The landing skiis were a
perfect success, giving a smooth
landing and taking off on the un
broken snow. The aviator stated
that he had a beautiful view of Mt.
McKinley and adjoining peaks on
his trip over at an elevation of four
thousand feet.
Eilson declared that natives and
many whites at McGrath had their
first view of an airplane and there
was much gesticulation among the
natives who at first feared the close
approach of the giant “bird.”
