Naval officers posing in front of a Bellanca at the old Point Barrow airfield, which was improved with pierced steel planking and a hangar in 1945. The Bellanca D was developed from the CH-400. This airframe was with Wien Alaska Airlines by 1946 and the livery looks like Wien's, but what do the titles read? Photo from: Naval History and Heritage Command
