Appe- | tablished that the fliers would stop at Sand Point, naval officials having received no word, preparations were made “just in case”; particularly as it was known thdt they would use the naval air base for their landing at Sitka Only Suitable Base Sand Point was considered the most likely landing place in Seattle, as Pan American Airways, which has the only other seaplane base in this area, has moved its equipment out of Lake Washington for the season. A landing on Puget Sound or Lake Union was not considered feasible, because of the heavy ferry traffic on the former and of the lack of room on the latter. After embarking from Moscow last Thursday, the planes stopped at Archangel on the White Sea, then flew along the Arctic coast to An- adir, bleak Siberian mainland point across the Bering Strait from Nome. The route was believed to have been selected for practical reasons under present war conditions as the quickest way to reach Washinglon‘ from Mascow. With all of the fliers carrying dlplomatic passports, observers con- | sidered the flight of great interna- , | tional significance, possibly in con- nection with the present United States foreign policy of aid to Soviet Russia and Great Britain, but the fliers themselves remained mum and would not even reveal the identity of those making the trip.
