Swirling winds tossed the big snub plane as it flew, at higher than 20.000 feet, over the thrusting peaks of the Canadian Rockies Then a real fight began. aviators found themselves headed into a magnetic storm area. Lightning played in the air. At a. m. the plane reported its position as over the northwest Alberta Province, Canada. Then there was silence. For more than six anxious hours there was no word from the plane— by far the longest time it had been silent during the entire flight. The radio antenna had gone bad; the transmitter was balky. Stresses all over the plane, struggling like eo race horse over the finish strech of its course of more than 14% miles, began to sighal danger (o the five exhausted men in the plane.
