If any of you want to do North Pole crossing by flying propeller plane or historic jet from Europe to cross North Pole to refueling stopover at PANC Anchorage on way to final destination in any city in Japan, you need to prepare for possibility of an emergency landing in Arctic Circle.
You are required to have in your plane extra emergency supplies such as parka coats, extra food, and extra water.
More important is you need to train your stewardresses how to use submarine guns. Oh yes it is must in case you encounter polar bears in Alaska or communist soldiers if you drift into Soviet Union or North Korea air space by mistake and wind up being forced down.
Here is example of how KlM airline prepared for any emergency during North Pole crossing between Europe and Japan. Notice how heavily armed the KlM stewardesses were.
