EIELSON

摘要

Carl Benjamin Eielson-"Ben" to all who knew him-became a world-famous pilot at age 30. Two years later, in 1929, he made his final flight, vanishing into a howling Siberian storm. He had in his short life established himself as the "Father of Alaskan Aviation." The US Air Force, by naming an Alaskan outpost Eielson Air Force Base, honored this pioneer, explorer, and hero.
