When they went to get him up, he was gone and so was the C-130. The Generals came and said that there was no way 1 person could fly it. My Dad took them to another C-130 and took them up in it with only him at the control. My Dad said that when he was flying that the pilots would show the GI's how to fly in case the were shot. My Dad has all the paperwork on this crash one it was declassified. After the crash, his wife moved to France and was never heard from again.
