  3. The Counter Intelligence Corp was a division of the Army during World War II

  4. The Counter Intelligence Corp had many top secret duties during World War II...

  5. Their main objective: Investigate sabotages and subversive activities against THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

  6. My Grand father was a special agent with the CIC

  7. He had many assignments but one memorable one took him to Alaska

  8. That’s him in the middle

  9. He was involved in the Alsib Route of the Lend Lease Act of 1941

  10. Passed on March 11, 1941, the Lend-Lease act set up a system that would allow the United States to lend or lease war supplies to any nation deemed “vital to the defense of the United States.”

  11. Russia was fighting a losing battle and did not have the supplies and equipment necessary to stop the Nazi’s from invading. The Lend Lease Act had another Route: ALSIB short for Alaska - Siberia

  12. The Lend Lease program got supplies to Alaska Starting point Great Falls , Montana up to White Horse, Canada then North to Alaska Russian pilots would fly the supplies over the Bering Sea to Russia

  13. Almost 8,000 aircraft were ferried over the ALSIB route

  14. Not all of the aircraft made it

  15. The Lend-Lease program dramatically changed the tide of the war.  Unfortunately, those who flew the planes and built the air route between the United States, Canada, the Yukon, Alaska, and eventually across Russia to the Asian Pacific, received little or no recognition.

  16. Neither the Red Army Museum in Moscow nor the Soviet Air Force Museum makes any mention of Soviet use of American aircraft during WWII or that the Western Allies even participated in that war. This is even more interesting when comparing a P-63 flight manual page from the Soviet version and the American original.

  19. The End
