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

That’s him in the middle
![Page 10: Learn and teach ja 8b history jake watson 8b history jake watson](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d225503460f949f7e1e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
He was involved in the Alsib Route of the Lend Lease Act of
1941
![Page 11: Learn and teach ja 8b history jake watson 8b history jake watson](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d225503460f949f7e1e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
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.”
![Page 12: Learn and teach ja 8b history jake watson 8b history jake watson](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d225503460f949f7e1e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
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:
ALSIBshort for Alaska - Siberia
![Page 13: Learn and teach ja 8b history jake watson 8b history jake watson](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d225503460f949f7e1e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Lend Lease program got supplies to Alaska Starting point Great Falls , Montana
up to White Horse, Canadathen North to Alaska
Russian pilots would fly the supplies over the Bering Sea to Russia
![Page 14: Learn and teach ja 8b history jake watson 8b history jake watson](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d225503460f949f7e1e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Almost 8,000 aircraft were ferried over the ALSIB route
![Page 15: Learn and teach ja 8b history jake watson 8b history jake watson](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d225503460f949f7e1e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Not all of the aircraft made it
![Page 16: Learn and teach ja 8b history jake watson 8b history jake watson](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d225503460f949f7e1e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
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.

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.

WWII
Russia desperately
needed supplies
The Alsib Route was a success
and helped the allies win the
war
Those who worked on the
project got little or no
recognition
Even Russia doesn’t
acknowledge having had help to win the war!!!
