He switched on the magnifier and leaned forward to look; he had emerged into normal time in the year 10 of the Atomic Era, a decade after the first uranium-pile had gone into operation, and seven years after the first atomic bombs had been exploded in warfare. The altimeter showed that he was hovering at eight thousand feet above ground-level.
Lieutenant McCready was at the controls, with Carnes and the doctor at the bomb racks. The plane rose in huge spirals until the altimeter read four thousand feet. The pilot straightened it out toward the south. The plane was alone in the sky. For two hours it flew south and then veered to the east, following the line of the Gulf of Archangel. The town came in sight at last.
But we're all waiting, holding our breaths, wondering what the next five minutes will bring forth. Is there any news there?"

Perhaps when morning came they would be able to see a little.
You glance at the clock to note the time of your departure, and at the oil gauge to see its throb. The altimeter registers 650 feet. You turn and look back at the field below and see others leaving. In three minutes you are at about 4,000 feet. You have been making wide circles over the field and watching the other machines.
After you've landed us, go up to this altitude use the barometric altimeter, not the radar and hold position."
