Arnold's Story: September 5, 1950

Jan Schuck writes Arnold about her experiences flying from Twillingate to Gander and returning to Boston. Clem Hiebert, Jerry Foster, Jan, and Ruth departed at the beginning of September, leaving Arnold behind for another four weeks. Ruth here may be the future wife of Jerry Foster.

The Norseman was a Canadian single-engine airplane designed to handle unimproved surfaces and land and take off on water. Apparently as Jan and the others landed in Gander, the airplane caught on fire and Jerry Foster put it out with an extinguisher.
