The Vice Chief of,-ttie Air Staff has told me
that permission has been granted for the United States
Strategic Air Command to undertake a reconnaissance
of airfields at Churchill, Fort Nelson, Grande Prairie
(a Department of Transport airfield), Mayo, and the Pas,
with a view to their possible use for refuelling purposes. The airfields in question are all north of the
latitude of Edmonton and not farther northwest than
Fort Nelson. An RCAF officer will accompany the reconnaissance party.
2.
It goes without saying that this reconnaissance
may possibly foreshadow requests for facilities.
