Summary[edit]

Description Lot 5967-2: Coast Guard Icebreakers and Navy Task Group in Arctic Mission. The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Eastwind (WAGB-279) finds the ice of Baffin Bay a formidable foe and her helicopter takes off to scout the area so that a course can be chosen that will make passage less difficult. Long range ice reconnaissance for the Navy Task Group on this Arctic mission was provided by two Royal Canadian Air Force planes. Short range scouting was done by helicopters from the Coast Guard and Navy icebreakers participating in the operation. Official U.S. Coast Guard Photograph, release September 1952. Photographed through Mylar sleeve. (2015/10/09).
