Photo Comment

5 November 1943 14 Squadron (442 Squadron) Advanced Fighter Base, R.C.A.F., Aleutians, Alaska, A pilot's fast thinking and a nice piece of emergency work by ground crew saved this big R.C.A.F. transport plane which crash landed in the North West Territories. Working under extreme difficulties the ground crews made it fly again, after the pilot had landed it in such a way that repairs were possible. DND photo.
