A formation of U.S. Air Force jets streaks across the Greenland ice cap near Thule Air Force Base, captured on 35mm color slide film sometime between 1950 and 1955. Thule played a critical role in Cold War-era Arctic air defense, and its extreme environment posed unique operational challenges for aircrews stationed there. Project: 218295
