WISCONSIN STATE JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1956:
SPARTA — M./Sgt. Charles Kenyon, 35, Sparta, was one of the men reported missing after being ordered to parachute from an Air Force plane over an island near Anchorage, Alaska, Monday.
Sgt. Kenyon is the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Kenyon, Sparta. His wife and two children live in Spokane, Wash.
He was flight engineer on the plane, which was able to make a safe landing after the men bailed out.
This was the second time that the sergeant has been reported missing. His plane went down in Germany during World War II and he spent 18 months as a prisoner of war.
Just before the flight on which he had bailed out, Sgt. Kenyon had spent two months in Alaska on a survival-training mission.
He enlisted in the Army Air Corps in 1940 and had been in the Air Force since then except for three years after the war.
Officers of Altus Air Force base, Altus, Okla., the crew's home base, informed his parents that he was missing.
