LOST FLIERS LEFT FUNERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Three lost fliers who crashed in the wilderness left written funeral instructions before freezing cold killed them.

The trio had been on a survey flight for a lumber company, according to news reports. Their provisions were sparse.

Wreckage of aircraft that went down in September 1939 was discovered the following March on the barren coast of Labrador. The men left a note dated November 1939 stating they expected to perish at their makeshift camp.
