Colonel punished after ordering seven sailors dumped from plane
Colonel Platt faced a half month's pay fine and loss of command at Tachikawa Air Passenger Terminal after ordering seven enlisted men removed so he could take his family on a Hawaii vacation. Brig Gen Barton called the action, transferring Platt and pledging to relocate him. Airman Robert J Kindl, affected by the incident, received an emergency leave to attend his son's funeral in Saratoga Springs.
