Bering Sea Expedition - Postman Artic Style (7 of 9). Swooping down over the ice, a Coast Guard PBY from the Air Detachment at Kodiak, Alaska, makes an aerial pick-up of the NORTHWIND's mail. Note the plane's tail hook, poised to snatch the line. The postman had to ring only once. On the first attempt, he hooked the line from which the mail bag was suspended. Members of the NORTHWIND's crew crouch on the ice as they steady the vertical poles which hold the line.
