It gives me special pleasure to add this book-length story to our growing web site, whose mission it is to find, record, publish and preserve stories from WW II, the Korean War and the early Cold War. The author of this story, Bill Baumer, has lived a most remarkable collection of experiences stemming from his service as Operations Officer and Aircrew Member of the 91st Strategic Reconnaissance Squadron, flying out of Yokota Air Base, Japan. To me, his story reflects the underlying connections that the Korean War had with the early evolution of the Cold War as the Soviet Union began to cloak their plans for world domination through the spread of Communism in ever-growing secrecy and deception. In January of 1953, Bill had orders in his pocket to return to the States after completing his assignment with the 91st SRS. He agreed to fly one last mission to help out his squadron at a time when their regular recon crews were over-scheduled with important missions. His duty was to give a check flight to an experienced B-29 crew that had recently been placed on TDY duty with the squadron to reduce the mission load on the individual 91st SRS crews. Little did he know that he would not get to use those orders that would take him back home. The Chinese Communists had other plans that would delay his return until August 1955.

Steel City Jews in Prosperity, Depression and War focuses on the 1920s, 30s and 40s. The decade of the 1920s was one of prosperity and progress, but it also was a decade of darkening shadows and growing concerns. The stock market crash of 1929 followed by the depression of the 1930s sent shock waves through the community and sorely tested all Americans including Jews. In the aftermath of World War II and the Holocaust, Pittsburgh Jewish leadership determined to more diligently attack discrimination and intolerance on the home front. The Arab-Israeli War at the end of the decade which involved various Pittsburghers established the State of Israel, fulfilling the Zionist dream. The tale told here is one of grit and determination, triumph and tragedy. It is a story that all readers interested in Pittsburgh and its Jewish community will find fascinating.
