Soaring high into the clean, quiet void - where at times the visibility stretched for more than 200 miles - the planes streaked counterclockwise around the earth - eastward across the U.S., over Newfoundland, past North Africa, Saudi Arabia and Ceylon (giving the Soviet Union a wide berth), made a mock bomb-run off the Malay Peninsula, cut back over Manila, then Guam, headed across the wide reaches of the Pacific to California (see map).
