...T.W.A., whose struggle against Pan American for world air routes will ultimately be settled by the President. The President paid no heed either to the unfriendly weather or to Clifford's awkward status.

In Arctic warfare, everything was different and difficult. Even breathing required a careful technique; a deep breath of the icy air could nip the lungs. Food was another problem; to maintain body warmth an Arctic fighting man had to eat almost twice as many calories as an ordinary soldier. The tallow candles issued to Canadian troops were spiked with food concentrates and could be eaten if rations failed to arrive...
