Freed Flier Flown Home for Reunion With Kin
Syracuse native Captain John J Swift flew home to reunite with his wife and parents after being held 39 days in a Hungarian jail with three other American airmen. He arrived from Washington after a flight from Germany and visited his ill father at St Josephs Hospital. The elder Swift, a 65 year old railroad engineer, expressed hope. Swift said he planned to stay in service partly to repay the United States for fines that freed them. His wife, living in Glens Falls, has two children Leslie and baby David.
