The plane suffered crippling damage, with a resulting fire and explosion. Unable to maintain flight, Captain Crayton ejected over enemy territory. What happened next, though, demonstrates his character and heroism. While enemy troops quickly closed on his position, a search and rescue helicopter with armed escort arrived to attempt a pick up. Despite repeated efforts to clear the area of hostile fire, they were unsuccessful, and fuel ran low. Aware of this, and despite the grave personal danger, Captain Crayton selflessly directed them to depart, leading to his inevitable capture by the enemy. So began seven years of captivity as a prisoner of war. During this period, Captain Crayton provided superb leadership and guidance to fellow prisoners at several POW locations. Under the most adverse conditions, he resisted his captor’s efforts to break him, and he helped others maintain their resistance.

Other than “train, advise, assist, and accompany” operations, American airpower has been the dominant form of direct influence in current military operations. For both, force finally counts. However, what our partners do on the battlefield is up to them to decide—a task for which American military ways and means are not ideally suited to directly influence.

    Guns for Khomeini and terrorist groups are supplied through the Israeli defense ministry! So says Gen. (ret.) Avraham Bar Am, one of the top military men arrested by U.S. Customs agents in Bermuda on April 22, on weapons-smuggling charges. Our report exposes this network, which is directed by Ariel Sharon­ its espionage and organized crime activities, and its deal with Soviet intelligence services. MoSCOW'S Secret Weapon: 4 In this remarkable, thoroughly researched document, you will finally learn the truth about: • Billionaire Soviet agent Armand Hammer, and the complex of wealthy financial figures known as "the Trust" who are the power behind would-be dictator Sharon. • The role of Henry A.
