TOPEKA AP A crippled RB-47R reconnaissance bomber with six crew members fought to keep control after losing an engine and wing. After two hours of testing they chose to ride it down and landed safely at Forbes Air Force Base at 11 27 p.m. The crew stayed aboard rather than bail out as Col. James K Johnson noted most pilots would have panicked. Major Lewis Chase praised their coordination and landing as the fuel diminished.
