Original caption: 'The USS NORTHLAND in the icepack off of the NE coast of Greenland.: Photo dated August 1944; Photo No. 516; photo by J. E. Young. Although this photo dates from a later year, the general placement of the Northland's aircraft would have been similar during her ill-fated patrol with LT John A. Pritchard and RM1 Benjamin Bottoms on board as part of the cutter's aviation detachment.
