While much of the information was obtained from government agencies and academic institutions, the contributions from public archives and private collections are equally important. For the following people who provided their time and resources, and anyone else I may have overlooked, thank you.
Randy Acord, Alaska aviation pioneer, historian, and former Ladd Field test pilot, for thoughtful insight and access to his personal aviation collection; Author Carl Mills for research and comments on the missing Canadian Pacific Airlines DC-4; and author Blake Smith for suggestions and historical aircraft images of the Northwest Staging Route.
Lieutenant Colonel Gerald OHara and Lieutenant Ken Hall of the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (formerly the Central Identification Laboratory), Public Affairs Office; Sandy Williams and Phyllis Shaw at the Department of the Navy, Office of the Judge Advocate General; Scott Price and historian Chris Havern of the United States Coast Guard; Alley Louie at the Air Force Historical Research Agency; Barry Cottam and Tim Cook at the National Archives of Canada; and Nick Williams at the Transportation Safety Board of Canada; for declassified documents, investigation material and aircraft accident reports.
John Cloe and James Frank at the 3rd Wing Historical Office, Elmendorf AFB, Alaska; Technical Sergeant Donald Fenton at the 354th Wing Historical Office, Eielson AFB, Alaska; Katherine Williams at the Museum of Flight, Seattle, Washington; Laura Kissel at the Ohio State University Archives; Robin Weber at the Northwest Territories Archives; Ian Leslie and Fiona Smith Hale at the Canada Aviation Museum Archives; Steven Maxham at the US Army Aviation Museum; Tim Travis at Raytheon Aircraft; Ray Owenby at Lockheed Martin Aircraft; King Hawes at 6srw.com; Ron Dupas at 1000aircraftphotos.com; Brian Lockett at Air-and-Space.com; Claus Martel at the US Army Aviation and Missile Command; Joe Stevens at the Kodiak Military History Museum; author A.T.
