J. A. Price, USAF, has learned since he be- gan his present Alaska tour. He cited certain tricks of cold weather operations as used in the Fairbanks and Nome areas, specific- ally in engine and aircraft warm-up and maintenance. Major Price, a chief pilot in the Military Air Transport Service, is on a year's assignment to observe every phase of operation and traffic technique of a civilian airline. He was assigned to Pan American World Airways, with which he started at the top last July, getting first an outline of policy and the overall picture from President Juan | Tripp. After the training in various executive capacities, he is in the pro- cess of detailed observation in PAA’s Pacific Alaska Division. This work is in the Air Force program of industrial mobilization training, which was set up by the U.S. Air Force Institute of Tech- nology at Wright-Patterson Field.

Their technical findings are later correlated. In this work of studying cold weather and line-station operations of the PAA Alaska sector, Mujor Price has been to Fairbanks, Nome and Whitehorse. He arrived in Ju- neau Monday. He will leave about Friday, planning to spend two days | at Annette Island and some time in | Seattle before returning to his San Francisco base. Part of his present swing through the North is “old stuff” to Major Price. With the Air Transport Com- mand in 1942, he ferried many an airplane to Fairbanks and Nome for the Russians, going from Great Falls, Mont.,, via Edmonton, Yort Nelson and Whitehorse. His longer war service with the ATC was flying the hump, in the China-Burma-India theater. Only officers who have received master’s degrees are eligible for this type of special duty, according to the major.
