Comments: I have a good friend in China and a friend of his
family is looking to locate or get information on an
American Air Force Pilot, a Major Johnson, he was
shot down over North Korea. I am attaching a
translation of the letter. From the letter I can see
he was a major who was shot down in North Korea on a
bombing run on a train tunnel. He bailed out and his
left leg was amputated. I think he was treated at a
Chinese hospital in Dingshou. He must have served in
War War II as in 1946 he was in Wuhan China at a
banquet hosted by Kai-shek.

a hay stack but I am seeking suggestions on how to
locate him.
