UPDATE: Herbert Lanks wrote a newspaper article with the same name that was published in February of 1944. You can read it here.
Here’s a magazine article from the September 1944 issue of Popular Photography. This must have been quite the trip, as the Alaska Highway had been completed less than two years previously in November of 1942.
The magazine was on eBay, so I decided to purchase it. You can view the article at Google Books.
