D. {. Man Is Rescued
After ; DAYS on Raft

After his Navy patrol bomber was
forced down in the Pacific off the
japanese coast, James A. Watts
aviation radioman &c, 400 K street
NE, spent four nights and three
days on storm-tossed life raft.
Only one of the IL crewmen suf-
fered an injury, a slight cut, when
the plane went down in a turbulent
sea, the Navy reported.
After the crash the crew set out
on two life RATS, but because of
rain and poor visibility they were
not sighted by search planes i'm
mediately. They dried their clothes
the next day and ate raw fish. The
third day plane dropped emer-
gency rations. They celebrated with
a round of drinks-fresh water
which had been strictly rationed.
A recurring rain, however, caused
the. search planes to lose sight of
the men drifting about on the sea.
But on the fourth day they were
picked up by a rescue vessel.

were able to get back to the island

Four -motored C-54 Skymasters of
the AAF Air Transport Command
were disgorging high priority cargo
and passengers on bomb and shell
splattered Yontan Airfield, Okinawa,
and flying out wounded evacuees, on
IL day plus seven"
That record extension of the

the "now-it-can-be- told" story of
doughty 1t. Col. James w. Luker,
Oklahoma born resident of San
Francisco, Calf, and his little force
Of 80 officers and enlisted men.
Among the personnel of the ad-
vance unit was First 1t. John H.

more than an hour later, and loaded
with wounded evacuees, it was head
ed for the Marianas, 1900 miles
away. The "noncombatant" ATC was
the first AAF unit to begin opera
tions on OkinaWa, and the Skymas-
ters haven't missed a day since.
BY the end of May the Yontan
unit had air evacuated about 1000
wounded, received 10000 pounds of
ammunition and medicines flown in
to the 10th Army and handled 50O,-
900 pounds of soldiers mail going to
and from Okinawa. The period was
marked by Al consecutive night air
raid alertS. During the first week
alone-when 407 wounded men were
air evacuated-ATC men expert
enced 16 alerts and II air and ar
tillery attacks without casualty to
themselves or patients.

good practice to put a wire or
