Havoc Red: Surviving The Alaska-Siberia Route, 1943

When Russia was pushed to the brink by Germany's war machine, President Franklin Roosevelt agreed to an uncomfortable alliance with Joseph Stalin and sent thousands of aircraft to the battered Soviet nation by way of the Alaska-Siberia Route. Lend-Lease pilots braved blinding arctic storms and primitive navigation delivering plans to Fairbanks. There, Russian pilots flew them on to the Eastern Front. One man agreed to a secret delivery mission. During the severe winter of 1943 he and a pilot took off from Great Falls, Montana, with black suitcases marked "Diplomatic Immunity--Havoc Red."
