"The airplane that Post and Rogers were flying in 1935 was an advanced version of the Winnie Mae (Wiley Posts' famous record setting plane), but designed by Post. It was a low-wing cantilever monoplane of wood and fabric construction using a Pratt and Whitney Wasp Engine. The fuselage was Lockheed Orion and the wing Sirius, similar to the airplane flown across the Pacific to Japan earlier by Charles and Ann Lindbergh. For Alaskan and Siberian conditions, in addition to landing wheels, it carried interchangeable skis and pontoons, and was described by the Army Signal Corps radio out of Barrow to Seattle as a "red, Arctic Sky Crusier.""
