Routine submarine patrol completed, the broad-winged Catalina lumbered baseward across Greenland's icecap, through a formless, numbing nothingness of snow and ice and haze and white fingers of sun feeling through clouds. Suddenly there was the awful crunch of hull against frozen snow and ice. The pilots grabbed for the throttles.

Moreover, delays and shortages have forced the adoption of an elaborate priorities system. Need for an AAA rating...
