Gentlemen:

Just saw the CBS production of the first "skyjacking" by a "D.B. Cooper" in which an artist's drawing of D.B. Cooper was displayed.

The picture bears a very striking resemblance to a [REDACTED] who was stationed with me as an aircraft commander of a B-47 bomber in the First Bombardment Squadron, Mountain Home AFB, Idaho during the period [REDACTED] [REDACTED]. His [REDACTED]. [REDACTED]. His age at that time was similar to mine -- approx [REDACTED] years old.

I do not know his present whereabouts. But in [REDACTED] when I visited him at Mt Home AFB he seem depressed and was about to lose [REDACTED].

Sincerely Yours [REDACTED] USAF - Retired
