My Father was the Station Chief at FOX-D and his first job was as a Mechanic at DYE Lower (1958).

The narrator mentioned Detroit as a target but not chicago.

interesting,,

My dad was on dew line in 1960

Listen to these ignorant fools criticize an accomplishment they couldn't begin to understand which prevented a global holocaust and horrors they couldn't begin to imagine.

Paranoia 50s style 😂

I just started working here as an FMT/V

The fear of destruction of cities across America and Canada has been realized, Universities were infiltrated by liberals, Marxists and Communists, further collapse has been aided and abetted by the media and corrupt politicians, look at Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, L.A., New York and San Francisco, the nation is on the brink of collapse and the only invasion that has taken place has been at the behest of crooked immigration lawyers.

Wet suits are posslible by September.

Dave with Alvin and the Chipmunks would be swell for around Christmas time along with Brenda Lee And Elvis.

It's the perfect spot for pirate radio. We'll start off with top hits of 1957 through to 1960 for the midnight program.

There's obviously 2 Huge Holes on either side of the Socalled dewline and the smarter engine will definitely research that especially the nutjob Korean goof along with aid from the other demon goof russia. So that proves the highly molested artic circle Radar is Super useless.Period

Perry's Dew Line.

Great place for a radio station!

I'm surprised Churchill, Manitoba wasn't mentioned. Located on Hudson Bay, with an ocean port and rail line, it could have significantly reduced shipping distance and time to the middle portion of the line.

At about the 18:16 point an aircraft is shown taking off. The Commentator indicates he is not aware of what it was doing there and may have been just an 'itinerant pilot'. It is more likely the Super Cub, ident CF-LXQ may have been owned by Bradley Air Services or Atlas Aviation, both out of the Ottawa, Ontario, Canada area. These were quite commonly used further North in the Arctic and usually based out of Resolute Bay NWT. They could then do various work further north out of Resolute Bay. The balloon tires, were an invention of well know Arctic Pilot, Weldy Phipps, owner of Atlas Aviation. They would often have the pilot and a supply of avgas in the rear passenger seat.

The comments section on this one is just as thoroughly interesting as this documentary. I just want to add that if this work had not been done we absolutely might not be alive today.

strike Winnipeg ahahahahahahahaha😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Been there, done that. Have the t-shirt. Sold a few as well. What an experience! Can’t say I loved every minute of it but it sure made a lasting impression on me.

Yea I know why the point of all this is, the KINGDOM OF THE SAINTS is up there in the NORTH. NOT FOOLING ME, I KNOW WHATS REALLY OUT THERE

This is amazing. My father spent several years of his time in the Air Force doing the maintenance and repair of these DEW line sites early 70's to 78 or 79. As a kid I couldn't have imagined what they looked like. Thank you for such an awesome look into his world.

I never knew about this. Thanks for letting me know about Bar 2

A battle against nature in its truest form

I was stationed at Port Mollar between 1969 and 1970

The administrator (John Pialaq) is my father. I'm sure it'll put a smile on his face when I show him that someone put a picture of him in one of their youtube videos.

Looks very failure…Was stationed at Port Mollar on the Aleutian’s….Was a good tour of duty while in the Air Force..

I was stationed at Port Mollar, Aleutian Islands between 1969 and 1970….Was a good tour while in US Air Force…

Hello…I was at Port Mollar between 1969 and 1970….Was in IS Air Force

My dad worked up there operating heavy equipment, tractors, scrapers ect.he made lifelong friends/memories there as a young man, he would have enjoyed this video. He was from the east coast Canada 🇨🇦 New Brunswick

What year(s) is this ? My father was on the DEW Line in the 1970s

You stood your watch. Well Done, sir. Well Done!

Cool upload.

Huh. We were so busy worrying about Russia Russia Russia we slackened our grip on home-grown (((terrorists and traitors))) who opene3d up the border to sickly invaders.

An extraordinary construction feat. Great video.

Thanks for sharing, I’ll be seeing it for myself in 2 weeks

Leaving next week for rotation 1 in 2023

Distant Early Warning

I went and recorded footage of Dye-2 and throughout it for a little over a week while waiting to fly off from there after our traverse in 2015-16. Fascinating place for sure. It was strange seeing all the stuff that was left behind, posters still on the walls and magazines still in the drawers, left in the "library", beers still in the bar, and eggs, canned foods, and such still in the pantry.

Thank you for posting this interesting history

excellent documentary!

In 1968, at 21, I received training at Bear Creek before being assigned to GMT Granite Mtn in the Seward Peninsula. This was one of 64 stations in what was called WACS the White Alice Communications System. In this great movie, on the DEW Line, WACS is referred to as the lateral comm system and the new tropospheric scatter system or FPTS (FORWARD PROPAGATION TROPOSPHERIC SCATTER). Having served more than 10 years after construction, I take my hat off those who built the DEW Line in 55 and 56. Those guys were tough and real pioneers. So many found memories brought back thRough this film. For more information on FPTS, look up White Alice.

North Island Salvage demolished the base in 1989

Wow back then the food looked good

Thanks Ron. I enjoyed this. I was a Radar Tech at Bar-2, Bar-3, Pin-1, Pin-3, and Cam-1, 1967-1971.

Those DC 3 are probably still flying
