Comments and history | Uel-Kal was the first major staging base along the Lend-Lease route from Nome starting around 1943. It was on the Nome-Uelkal-Markovo-Seymchan segment. The runways were corduroy (wood). During the 1950s Uel Kal was suspected of being a candidate for construction of a major Soviet bomber staging base. |
