Photograph of US Air Force sent from Prince Rupert to Spider Island to man the fortifications against an expected attack by the Japanese. They travelled on a ship from Prince Rupert, a construction crew and 80 American servicemen. There was a terrible storm and they were all seasick and expected the ship to go down any minute. They wallowed around in the Pacific for 3 days before reaching Spider Island. He was 16 years old at the time.
Photos are copied from a large 8x10 folio that was given to Mr. Stanyer by the company that he was working for in Kitimat in 1956
