DEW LINE—the story of America's best kept secret now can be told. This is the story of the three-thousand-mile Distant Early Warning line—America's electronic Paul Revere. Spanning the northernmost reaches of the North American Continent, it stands as an impregnable radar fence against large-scale attack across North Polar regions by enemy long-range bombers and fighter planes.
DEW LINE is the dramatic account of how the almost impossible task of building this final link in the 10,000-mile warning loop around our country was accomplished. From the initial period of planning in the summer of 1952, from the building of an experimental span across the Arctic shore of Alaska, to the ultimate completion of the 3,000 miles of radar installation with the back-breaking task of flying in personnel and equipment to build these stations in sub-zero temperatures in the long Arctic nights—all is recounted as the vivid story of accomplishment it is.
