A children's story
Written by
Major Van Harl USAF Ret.
"Arnie the Aladdin Lamp goes to Alaska" is a children's story about an Aladdin kerosene lamp named ARNIE, his owner and their great adventures in Canada and Alaska. The story takes place in 1942, during the building of the Alaska Highway and Elmendorf Army Air Field in Anchorage, Alaska. Children enjoy the story and love ARNIE. What they do not realize is they are getting a history lesson while reading the story. The story was written by Major Van Harl, USAF Ret. (Security Police) and illustrated by SSgt. Richard Gipple (who is active duty Air Force / Security Forces).
