The Greatest Manhunt: Chasing the Mad Trapper
The 48-day pursuit became an epic struggle against the Arctic winter. The RCMP, aided by Gwich'in trackers, chased him over 240 km. The manhunt made history with the first use of an aircraft for pursuit, piloted by WWI flying ace Wop May. His aerial reconnaissance was crucial in tracking the fugitive across the vast, unforgiving terrain. #Canada #MadTrapper #WopMay #CanadaIsAwesome 🇨🇦
