 GOOD ONE, AT THAT
CBv The Associated Press)

! Another of those wartime now It. can-be-told stories has been releas- ed,-this one by Boeing Aircraft Company officials in Wichita, Kan sas. The release of the story has lbeen approved by the Department oi the Air Force.
 It's the story of how a B-29 and its American crew were lnterned by the Russians in 1944. The B-29 was the General H. H. Arnold,-so named bv the wartime air force chief him. self.
 The General Arnold was the first of the giant planes to bomb a Japanese target. It had completed II missions when it went on the mission from which it never re- turned.
 The big plane took off from a base November II, 1944, headed for Omura, Japan. After completing the mission. the plane started back, but the radar went bad and the alrman found themselves 900 miles oil course.-and low on gasoline.
 They had choice of landing in Japanese-held China or going to Vladivostok. Russia. They landed at the Vladivostok Naval Air Sta ton.
 That was the last the crew of the General Arnold ever saw of the B-29. The crew finally reached Allied Lines in Iran while the war was still on in February, l945.
 But the General Arnold remained on Russian soil-and still is there.
