And Elk Too? The Oregon ANG in Operation Haylift, 1949
In the winter of 1948-1949, severe weather affected livestock and game all across the western United States. Here, a USAF C-47 transport aircraft piloted by Capt. M. Peck drops a hay bale from low altitude to cattle on a ranch 12 miles northwest of Chadron, Nebraska, in another example of the peacetime application of airpower.
