520 DEW LINE -- the story of America's best kept secret now
can be told. This is the story of the three-thousand-mile
Distant Early Warning line -- America's electronic Paul
Revere. Spanning the northernmost reaches of the North
American Continent, it stands as an impregnable radar
fence against large-scale attack across North Polar
regions by enemy long-range bombers and fighter planes.
DEW LINE is the dramatic account of how the almost
impossible task of building this final link in the 10,000-
mile warning loop around our country was accomplished.
From the initial period of planning in the summer of 1952,
from the building of an experimental span across the
Arctic shore of Alaska, to the ultimate completion of the
3,000 miles of radar installation with the back-breaking
task of flying in personnel and equipment to build these
stations in sub-zero temperatures in the long Arctic
nights -- all is recounted as the vivid story of
accomplishment it is.
