Milk Run Civil Air Patrol vintage style military aviation travel poster art by – Squadron Posters!
Milk Run–painting for CAP National Historical Journal, Fall 2021. This painting portrays Civil Air Patrol members at Ogallala, Nebraska loading milk into waiting Piper Cub aircraft for delivery to stranded communities. The Great Plains Blizzard of 1949 left a snow-covered swath from Arizona to Wyoming leaving 40-foot-tall drifts that lasted for months.
The Blizzard of 1949 is considered one of the worst on record for the northern Plains. The first storm began January 2 and continued through January 5, with heavy snow, strong winds and cold temperatures. Subsequent storms through mid-February produced enormous snow drifts that paralyzed much of the region. Roads and railroads were blocked, so airplanes were used to bring food and medical supplies to isolated towns and hay to livestock.
