Plane Hero of 1943 Credited With Atlantic Rescue
The article recounts a 1943 incident where a four engined transport nearly failed in the Atlantic. Schwimmer crawled along the wing, cut a wire, saving the dying engines and guiding the plane to safety. Later he aided Jewish refugees by shipping planes to Israel and logged about 3500 hours with Air Transport Command. His sister states he lives in Israel but visits Bridgeport occasionally.
