What has been called 'The Ice Cap Story' was a grim and drawn out fight with Greenland's inland ice that lasted from 5 November to 18 May , and had a high price in both aircraft and lives of airmen. During the whiteout, the left wings struck the ice.
The plane went down and broke into two pieces. The crew survived, although some were badly injured. In the following months numerous attempts were made to rescue the men by ground parties, but they all failed.
A Norwegian native, Lt. Bernt Balchen, who was in charge of the search and rescue operations of the USCG, finally proposed the Navy to have a PBY belly-land on the ice cap and evacuate the airmen. It was a bold idea, and one not without considerable risk, for nobody really knew whether the PBY's hull could withstand this type of battering. Both were later awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for this heroic act under very difficult circumstances.
