A FORTUNATE FEW CAME HOME

      Over two and a half years after the Korean War cease fire was signed on July 27, 1953, the wily Red Chinese released "only eleven" of the "fourteen crew members" who were on board the ill-fated B-29 Stardust Four Zero.  These eleven airmen were most fortunate because it was a known fact that the communists were holding back approximately three-fourths of those whom they were capturing.  Many of those poor unfortunate countrymen who were being held over were being used as human guinea pigs for medical and other horrendous experiments in North Korea and in other communist countries.  Thousands were moved to Red China and the former Soviet Union for that purpose.  It was only by the "Grace of God" that the eleven Stardust Four Zero crew members were freed.
