Finished Th 3/6/14 (Library book recommended by Dr. Floyd)
The adventures of WAC corporal Margaret Hastings, sergeant Kenneth Decker and lieutenant John McCollom who were the only survivors of a flight over New Guinea on May 13,1945.
The Baliem Valley
The Gremlin Special
The high-altitude rescue was performed using Waco CG-4 gliders towed by a Douglas C-47 Skytrain. Three separate rescues were performed by towing a glider with single pilot into the valley. The glider was then loaded and configured for a live capture by the tow plane which recovered the survivors, towing them back to a base in Hollandia.
