You peaked my curiosity (Sorry to go a little off topic). I started looking this up to find details, and am having a hard time finding the following:
What kind of differences does the Enterprise have from the others? (any weight differences?)
What kind of hops were made? (I see references to Goose Bay, but there had to be other places)
It must have been some feat if Fulton recieved an Exceptional Service Medal for that flight only.
