It was these government air serv- ices that showed commercial inter- ests the vast use to which the plane could be put in the northland. With the rush to the newly discovered gold fields of Red Lake in northern On- tario in the spring of 1926. three commercial air transport companies went in. One hundred and twenty miles separated the gold strike from Hudson, the nearest railway point.
