In May of 1919 the 15-mile run was made by automobile. Today—93 years later—in April 2010, the new owners of the Mother Lode Lower Camp (also known as Marvelous Millsite), Ray and Lee Ann Kreig of Anchorage, access to their property was by snowmachine. The 50 plus men once em- ployed in the mines are long gone but their memory lives on, especially in the hearts of the Kreigs.

The squadron arrived in February 1941, as part of an effort to provide a defense of Alaska after years of neglect. The first Army Air Corps personnel had landed on Merrill Field the previous August. They were the forerunners of what would later become the Eleventh Air Force. The publication of this pamphlet also marks the 100th anniversary of the arrival of Lieutenant William “Billy” Mitchell in Alaska in August 1901 on a fact-finding mission for the U.S. Army Signal Corps. General Mitchell would later champion Alaska in publica- tions and testimony before Congress as being one of the most strategic places in the world, “The Air Cross Roads of the World.” General Mitchell’s championing of airpower and his pioneer vision of Alaska have been vindicated.
