Capt Lewis, a former prisoner of war, recently made his first flight as a pilot in the craft since his return from Hanoi.

Then he went to Castle AFB, as a B-52 copilot and eventually to aircraft commander. He spent about six months flying B-52s in Vietnam before getting shot down. “The Air Force has treated me pretty well,” said the 29-year old pilot. ‘‘The only hard part is that half of my time has been spent away from home; with the job I have now that will level off.” Shot down Sept. 27, 1972 and captured the same day, the father of one was released March 29, 1973 and returned to the states on April Fool’s Day. Although spending : a . Telatively short time as a POW, “I am just as happy to be back home as my fellow long term prisoners are,” says the acutely sensitive pilot. “Every time I travel outside the United States, every time I go to Europe or Southeast Asia, everytime I come back home, the more I appreciate the United States. It’s the attitude of the people of the United States, the freedom of the United States has to offer .. no other place in the world is like that. You can take off and go where ever you want to, you don’t need travel permits, you are sort of your own man. You can make what you want out of life — you have that opportunity,” he went on. Staying in North Vietnam was a real eye opener for the exPOW. “I have never seen a place so regimented. Even though you are a prisoner, you have an awareness of what is going on in the rest of «the country — just by talking to the guards and the things they say. I don’t think an American could live in a place like that as the average ‘Joe Blow’.’’ Asking Captain Lewis what would be the one thing he would say to everyone if he had the chance, he replied, ‘Although essentially the POWs havereturned, we still have 1,300 plus . people that are missing in action. According to the agreement, North Vietnam was to allow a team of Americans in and to cooperate with them in securing information on what happened to these people — they haven’t’ done this. And indications, as far as I see it just by reading newspapers, they haven’t even come close to doing it. “Now we have 1,300 guys missing and some of them may be dead and some of them may be alive, even if we discover that there is only one alive, every one of those guys should be accounted for in some way or another,” he concluded.
