The articles are interesting, written by the men who lived the

Subject: Clifford Sellman 13TH BOMB SQ 5/17/53 B-26
Dear Mr. Barker:
Clifford Sellman was my roommate at Purdue University. He went to Korea
and went to the German Occupation. He was reported killed in action in
1954!
A brief search has not revealed any information to me but I have been
lead to believe that he was shot down over Korea, bailed out OK, and his
parachute reported on the ground. The date of his reported death (as
shown on the Korea War Memorial in Indianapolis) is 1954 possiably
indicating a death in captivity.
Any information that you might add or correct would be appreciated.
Thank You,
Gene Easley
----more from KWP---
Name spelled Selman on Honor Role
Selman, Clifford Gene
The date indicates the original date of casualty of 5/17/53, near the
end of the war. The official date was from either a POW debrief,
or files filtering to command level. The other option is that was the
date of determination.

I was looking for info on my cousin, his name is Johnnie Roessel,1st Lt,

I was named after my cousin and for most of my life I have heard
different stories told of what happened. My mom just informed me that
she read an article in the newspaper that references a b-29 that crashed
about six months before the end of the was. She remembers that my cousin
Johnnie's plane crashed around that time also. She said the article
mentions that there was a crew of five men on the plane that crashed at
that same time and that most of them survived.
I would like to know if you can give me some suggestions on where to
begin my search for info, or if there is a group of pilots that are
still around that may have information. After my cousin was reported as
missing, his family was contacted by fellow pilots that said they were
able to fly over and see that the plane crash landed, that it did not
crash and burn. They were unable to do anything, but returned the next
day to the crash site and believe that the plane had been buried or
covered, as there was no sign of the plane.
This has always led us to believe that he did survice and was taken as a
POW.
I would appreciate your help and if you could email I would really be
grateful.
