Landing Strip, Table Cloth Size. One of the Coast Guard helicopters, instrumental in saving eighteen survivors of the Belgian Air Liner which crashed on September 18, 1946, near Gander Field, Newfoundland, makes a three-point contact with a landing strip about the size of a table cloth. The ground surface at this clearing beside Wolf Lake, was the soggy muskeg typical of Newfoundland wilderness terrain. Flanks were dropped from a plane and placed as shown in this photograph. From this point, the survivors were ferried by rubber rafts to a Coast Guard PBY plans waiting on the lake, and thence flown to the Gander Field hospital, about 22 miles away.
