AGE MISSING ON ROUTINE FLIGHT
Search Pushed for ‘Buzz’ Wagner, Nemesis of 15 to 20 Jap Planes.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 (U. P.).—
world war II—Lieut. Col. Boyd David (Buzz) Wagner, who wrote aviation history in the Philippines and southwest Pacific—has been missing since Monday on a routine FloridaAlabama flight, the war department disclosed today. No word has been received frore him since he took off from Elgin Field, Ala., en route to Maxwell Field, Ala., the department said. An intensive search is under way. Tales told about “Buzz,” 26-year-old native of Emeigh, Pa., are legend. Although the army has no record of the number of Jap planes he has destroyed—and he modestly declined to make any estimates— his friends say he has accounted for anywhere from 15 to 50. During the Philippine operations, he was a first lieutenant and won the distinguished service cross for extraordinary heroism. After his transfer to Australia, he was jumped three full ranks to that of lieuten~ ant colonel, one of the youngest officers of the air corps to attain that rank.
