Plane Ditched
In Stormy Sea;
Crew Rescued
LONDON, (/P) — Seven
Americans were lifted to safe
ty from a liferaft yesterday
only a few hours after their
big U.S. Air Force tanker
plane was ditched in the stormy
Atlantic.
The ci’ewmen, “in excellent con
dition,” were taken aboard a Nor
wegian rescue ship from the raft.
It was a sea rescue drama with
a difference—the seven Americans
themselves calmly announced their
survival in a radio message from
the liferaft.
U. S. search planes circled over
head as the Norwegian tanker
Sandefjord came alongside the
i’aft and took aboard the survivors
—one with head injuries. The
Sandefjord then headed for Gi
braltar.
The Boeing KC97 came down
during a training flight from its
base at Lages Airfield in the
Azores.
The pilot, skillfully maneuver
ing the limping craft.on one of its
four engines, belly landed on rough
seas misted with low clouds.
His SOS signals, hammered out
as he fought to keep the plane
aloft, touched off a rescue opera
tion by U. S. airbases in Europe
and North Africa.
