Opis

Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, it was decided that Alaska needed extra defence in the event of a further attack via the Aleutian Islands. This meant linking remote Fairbanks, Alaska with the existing U.S. Highway System. Work crews had only eight months to complete this 1,500 mile road across the wilderness.
