Labrador Airport
In th's bleak part of Labrador. far
to the north of normal peacetime
trans-Atlantic dight routes, lies the
largest airport in the world—a straw
egie development that has cost ap-'
proximately $15.000.000 to date
And the project is still growing.
Built on a sand plateau towering
70 feet above the swamp and mus-
keg surrounding it this RCAF C-ooee
Bay airport has a large area- Run-
ways are more than a mile long.
enough for fully loaded gien:s L9se
Tencacter-,. Strato iter_ and Flying
Fortresses- If the mammoth air ex-
presses of the future require_ a or
er take -off. the runways can easily
be lengthened, for the ;het= of sand
ler behind by some ancient sea is
fiat as a board. -
It is One of the busiest. airdromes
this side of :he Atlantic. In one
crowded 24 hour_ le has service::
more than 100 aireraft. fed t.._
crews, cad sentthwinging on
their way to Europe. Ise little more
than a -year of active operation. the
station has gassed and oiled more
planes than go through any other
ferry airdrome on the seaboard. Of -
deers of the RCAF, the RAF Ferry 1
Command, and the U.S. Army Air
Transport Service. which share the
facilities of this mon:.er station, es-
timate that its present export of
planes for the battlefronts of Eur-
ope is "juett a drop in the bucket"
The T: -S. Air Transport unit alone
has arranged to accommodate in
19d3 doable the number of planes
which passed through in 1942 -
In addition to its advantageous
location on the Great Circle air
route to Europe—the shortest dis-
BACK FROM BERLIN: AN R.A.F. WING COMMANDER WHO
SAW THE GERM AN CAPITAL BURN
Picture shows: A smiling Wing Commander of the R. A. F. back from
taking part in a heavy British raid on Berlin. A strong force of 4 -engined
bombers showered bombs, including eight thousand pounders, on the German
capital. Large fires were started as many points and the dames could be
seen from a distance of a hundred utiles,
lance across the Atlantic the air-
' port leas good weather virtually the
whole year round,
Hon. C. D. Howe, who has juris-
diction over the air services branch
- of the Department of Transport,
which has been responsible .for the
construction Of this vast undertak-
ing, stated: ''Canada has cause to be
justly proud of this important link
in our aerial stepping -stones to Eur-
ope. This.: airport is proving itself of
great -aloe in this war, and will
likely have an important place in
interhemispheric flying after the
war."
The site for this giant jumping-
off place was discovered by a Canad-
ian in July, 1941. Eric "Jack" Fry,
of the Dominion geodetic surrey
branch, was looking- for an area
suitable for an airport. Scanning the
ice -scarred Labrador barrens front
his plane, he learned about the plat-
eau from native Labradorians. He
visited the site by boat and lost no
time in signaling word of his rind to
O:awa. It had everything an airport
r:eeded. and proximity to coastal
waterways.
The United State: was right on
his heels. Fry had barely completed
s survey whey. overhead circled
two dying baits bearing U.S. mark-
er. also searching for an airport
s'te. Three days later, on July 4.
Fry's parts :net the 1..S. explores
and exchanged information—an in-
formal meeting in the rain on the
hore of a storm -tossed Labrador
file:. Fry. bearded. soaked to the
skin, bronzed by suns. and garbed in.
'worn bush clothes. looked more like
a native pulp cutter than an Ottawa
civil servant.
The Labrador airport was built,
developed and is being operated by
Canadians. The Department of
Transport has done all the engineer-
ing and supervision. Construction
was by the McNamara Construction
Company of Toronto.
When arrangements are completed
to take in adjoining timber limits for
defence purposes, the airport, with
its outlying establishments, will cov-
er many square miles. The criss-
cross of runways on the airfield con-
tains miles of concrete squares. Nine
million feet of native lumber have
been cut and used in the area.
To the visitor, the air atation
leaves a• curious mixture of impres-
sions. Buildings are warmed by live
steam from a central heating plant
whose trestlework of insulated pipes
hangs over the whole cantonment
like the multiple legs of a gray and
yellow spider. The buzz of electric
razors drowns the morning radio
news. Beside a steam kettle in the
ultra -modern kitchens of the air-
men's cafeteria is an Eslamo wield-
ing a paint brush. Even in the bright
sunshine of late April, airmen swath-
ed
wathed in hooded parkas clumped about
in "mukluks." which are the water-
proof Eskimo boots.
Anti-aircraft guns manned by Ca-
nadian soldiers poke lean barrels out
of sandbag emplacements. Bren gun
carriers clank among the trees.
Service personnel go about con -
stately armed. Soldiers take their
rifles to their seats in the little timb-
er chapel hewn by their own hands,
fine -'t-AF officers and guards al-
-ways carry hole:_red pistols, Hang-
lom :earn- bets are scabbards
for stabbing knives ,round down
-from broken bayonets.
The only girls or. the station atm
four nurses in the RCAF hospital,
the RCAF messing officer, a few U.S.
nurses, and 14 native girls in the
laundry.
That is the station—a compound
of big -town civilization, under sub -
Arctic condition,—of military pre-
paredness which borrows some of
the flavor of gun -toting days in the
old Southa-est.
The prospect was asked if he
would like a straight -life policy. He.
thought for a minute and replied,
"Well er, I do like to step out once
in a while."
