Forty-Day Ordeal Ends as Airmen Return Home
Four U.S. airmen held by Communist Hungary for forty days crossed the Austrian border to freedom at 5:01 p.m. Austrian time. Ambassador Donnelly greeted them at the frontier and the U.S. agreed to pay $120,000 in fines levied against the men for border violations. Senator O’Connor criticized the payment, calling it a mistake that emboldens Soviet-backed demands. The airmen were Captain John J. Swift, Captain Dave H. Henderson, Tech Sgt Jess A. Dutt, and Sgt James A. Elam, who were escorted by U.S. officials into Austria.
