| with the same tank of fuel | на одном баке (топлива: In the 1930’s, General Billy Mitchell, the so-called “father of the US Air Force.” saw that Lake Minchumina — about forty miles north of where Campbell landed at Carey Lake — was equidistant to the major urban-industrial centers of the Northern Hemisphere.
