Korea 25 June 1950: a Screenplay Rod Ernouf

I was there the day it started. Flying a MATS C-54, we landed at Seoul. The Commies strafed the base and our aircraft was the first US airplane lost in the Korean War, Aircraft # 5521. While the events depicted here are true to the best of my recollection it is what I call Bio-Fiction. What started out to be my story of the first ten days of the Korean War turned out to be an account of the determination of the American Woman to survive. I hope you enjoy this tale of how six women and ten children survived the trip from Seoul to Pusan in a weapons carrier. It was very exciting and frightening at times.-Armond F. Stoneman
