The Northwest Staging Route was a series of airstrips, airport and radio ranging stations operating in Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon and Alaska during World War II. It extended into the Soviet Union as the ALSIB (ALaska-SIBerian air road). The Northwest Staging Route carried warplanes to the Soviet Union, at a time when that country was fighting German invaders along the Eastern Front.
