ANCHORAGE, Alaska, June 13—
Two Army P-51 pursuit planes, missing since yesterday morning and last seen over Cook Inlet, were the object today of a widespread search favored by the northland summer which provides nearly 24 hours of daylight. Names of the missing men were not reported.
Seventeen planes of all types were in the air overnight and all towns and villages in the vicinity were asked to forward any information to Elmendorf Field. Army officials said they hoped the craft had made a landing and had merely been unable to report by radio.
