Cookie - not yet! The June 20, 1953 globemaster crash w/129 aboard happened 
near Tokyo. I would imagine if the DoD puts together its 17,678 list the 
names of the men will be there. Although I am not all that confident. 

For example, SSGT George B. Burt, Saratoga Springs, NY, who left a wife and a 
baby he never saw, was one of those aboard the globemaster.  He is not any 
DoD list. 

Also, I have a list of over 7,000 names of AF deaths during the Korean War 
supposedly for all sources worldwide, but SSGT Burt's name is not on that 
list either. I suppose it all depends on how AF then determined a death 
attributable to the Korean War?
