#1 On the first day of winter, December 21, there are only about four hours of milky daylight in Fairbanks, about 110 miles below the Arctic Circle.

#2 Crane was a player of considerable finesse, knowing when to push his luck and when to pull back. He was popular on base since arriving there in October 1940 on one of the transport flights that hopscotched north from Montana.

#3 Crane felt he was still a novice in the preparations and precautions to handle winter in interior Alaska. He would forget to pull up his parka hood, and not realize his mistake until his ears were iced and aching.

#4 Crane was assigned to the Alaska territory, and he seemed to handle the cold better than many other soldiers. He was also built well for these extremes, with the muscles of a natural athlete.
