The distance from bases within the United States Itself to potential targets In the heartland ot tha Eurasian continent would be beyond the range of even the B-38. However, the new strategy suggested In the report indicates that the mission would operate like thla: A B-39, whose home field waa Limestone or some other airdrome In th United States, would load up with bombs and a comparatively light load of fuel. It would fly two or three thousand m lea to a staging base on the rim of the North Amer ican continent, In Greenland or elsewhere in the far north. There the bomber would "top off" It fuel , tanks (fill them to capacity.) That would carry the Intercontinental bomber to the target and back to the stanlng base or to friendly territory beyond enemy territory.
