Johnson was shot down either Dec. 52 or Jan 53. I forget which now. He was released in the last bunch from N. Korea. Never have been able to locate him. I believe he was from Rochester, NY. Also Capt. Ward, OIC; Lt. Newton, Lt. Jack Chandler, Buck Sgt Jim Fish, etc There were only 13 of us in the ECM section. Great to see some info on the web. Others: Jim Higgins & C.C. Olund. E.E.

We flew 27 missions to N. Korea from our base at Kadena on Okinawa. Last 3 digits of our aircraft were "977" We didn't have any nose art. I'd be interested in establishing contact with any other B-29 Korean War vets.
