ICELAND VITAL
COG IN FLYING
Meeks Field, Iceland fU.IO
They are still pouring the big
bombers into Europe to pulver
ize Germany's resources to wage
war.
Within a few hours one morn
ing while 12 American corres
pondents were visiting this Im
portant army air transport com
mand base approximately a
score of sleek, shiny B-17s
landed on the field, en route
to Britain.
A youthful pilot of one ship,
who cannot be named, said he
had flown from Goose Bay,
Labrador, in approximately 11
hours,
"Tha weather was exactly
the way they said It would be,
scattered clouds at 8000 feet and
slightly overcast over Green
land," he said. "We flew at
9,000 feet to 11,000 feet. It was
dark over the icecap but we
could see the ice glare below.
We got on the beam 300 miles
out. The radio was very good.
It took us about four hours to
fly from Presque Isle to Goose
Bay."
Only 13 Accidents
Ha appeared perfectly confi
dent, and reassured to believe
that there had been only 13 ac
cidents In 7,500 crossings by
tactical aircraft.
This Incident was typical of
what goes on here at this base,
where U. Col Hugh R. Gil
christ, Clinton, Okla., is ATC
commander, and Lt. Col. Roger
H. Kruse, formerly of TWA and
former resident of St. Louis and
New York, is operations officer.
The base provides - many
services. Pilots and navigators
are briefed on the course to
Britain and shown pictures of
the approaches, Complete
weather information indicates
their course- and altitude. Crews
are housed overnight and planes
checked and serviced.
Eastbound the base Is used
primarily by combat craft, as
tne larger transports usually
fly direct from Newfoundland 1
to Britain. Westbound, because
of the prevailing winds, many
transports stop here.
Facilities for Wounded
Many carry wounded home.
There is a holding hospital here
for wounded who stop over
night, and facilities for feeding
wounded aboard, planes that
stop briefly. In one day nine
hospital planes stopped bere
carrying 16 to 18 patients per
plane, .
Since D-day In Europe more
than 19,000 wounded have been
flown back to the United States.
Meeks Field is only one of
numerous American installa
tions In Iceland. The Iceland
Base Command, under Maj. Gen.
William S. Key, Oklahoma City,
is charged with the defense of
the country.

How to roast a turkey
without a roaster!
IT CAN be done easily and without basting,
too! But first, remember that in buying a turkey
it's wise to figure about H to I lb. (drawn weight)
per serving.
To truss the bird (thus
keeping it in compact
and attractive shape
while roasting);
Fold wings back so the tips are caught in back of
the bird, and tie tightly around the whole bird
using strong cord
Then, using another length of cord, tie firmly
around the end of each drumstick just above the
joint, press them close to the body, and tie them
securely to the tailpiece (as shown above)
DOUGH BIANKIT ROASTING
b the next step, and it requires neither roaster
nor basting:
1. Have bird trussed and'ready
2. Place on shallow pan or metal tray (may go
- eater-cornered if bird is large)
3. Have oven good and hot (450 F.)
. 4. Mix 4 to 6 cups of flour (depending on size
of bird) with just enough water to make stiff
dough; knead slightly
B. Roll out to M to H inch thickness, large
enough to cover bird completely
6. Let edges hang loose don't tuck in (if it
stretches too thin at any point, patch with
extra dough)
Put Immediately into hot oven
Pour 1 cup water into pan; bake about 15
minutes for dough blanket to set.
9. Reduce oven heat to 325 F. and finish
roasting
10. Do not baste, but be sure to keep about 1
cupful of water in pan at all times
11. Half an hour before serving time, break the
hard dough blanket by tapping with a ham
mer; remove blanket, being careful not to
break the skin.
12. To get desired color, increase heat if neces
sary and continue cooking uncovered.
Roosting time depends on the size of the bird;
the larger the turkey, for example, the fewer
minutes per pound needed for tender results.
Turkeys weighing from 14 to 25 lbs. require
about 4 i hours at 325 F.; from 8 to 13 lbs.,
about Z'A hours.
large birds are "done" when tines of fork
easily enter the thick part of the drumstick or
when, after you've grasped the end bone of the
drumstick the joints in the thigh break or move
easily.
