Inter-Atoll Airlift

|

Cargo frdm Eniwetok to Bikini was accomplished by
means of a morning and afternoori C-54 flight from Fred
to Nan,
Cargo arriving at Fred via MATS marked for IJUR was

segregated and booked on the C-54 "Reflector" flight,
without cargo being first sent to Parry, as on previous
operations.

This procedure saved valuable time as well

as cutting down on the wear and tear on cargo due to
additional handling.

This service was performed by a

H&N air cargo man stationed permanently at Fred.
Air cargo for IJUR originating at Parry was docu-.

mented by J-4 for movement through the H&N Shipping
Section.

This system worked quite well with very little

time lost in movement of this type of air cargo.
Air cargo excluding weapon movements was as follows:
