UNITED STATES COAST GUARD planes play a major role in the International Ice Patrol. In the illustration above, a UF-20 sizes up an iceberg off the coast of Newfoundland, checking its position and direction of drift. The information is radioed back to headquarters for broadcasting to ships at sea. This type of aircraft is used mostly for short reconnaissance flights; larger R-5D planes with more window space are used for long flights of 10 or 11 hours of observation work.
