CHINESE-AMERICAN
TEAM SALVAGES
BOGGED B-29

A SUPERFORTRESS BASE IN
WESTERN CHINA—Salvage of
a B-29 bogged on an unused air
strip only 17 miles from the Jap
anese lines along the Yellow river
brought a demonstration of team
play between Chinese and Amer
icans. „
In the first night raid on Naga
saki, the Superfortress ran into
navigational and weather diffi
culties and barely made the strip
which was so soft the plane was
stuck in a deep hole.
For 13 days, Chinese forces
guarded the strip while Flying
Tigers ranged overhead, bagging
30 enemy planes in the covering
operations.
Meanwhile, Chinese and Amer
icans worked together to bring in
gasoline and repair material for
the airstrip. Chinese crews buried
4,500 railway ties on the strip to
form 300 feet of hard surface and
filled holes with rock.
The plane was stripped of all
possible removable equipment
and four of her crew flew it back
to home base after repairs had
been made by American units.'
All operations were carried for
ward almost under the noses of
the Japanese and prepatations
were made for complete destruc
tion of the plane in case enemy
patrols broke through.
Capt. Stanley Brown, the pilot,
made the emergency landing with
two motors out from enemy ac
tion over the Nagasaki targe*. He
was uncertain when he landed
whether he was in friendly ter
ritory.
