I used to fly with a John Dzema out of Port Lyautey
French Morocco in the early 1950's. He and I were good
friends and once drove together in a 1947 Ford across
much of North Africa. My understanding is that he was
killed in a Navy patrol aircraft shot down by the Russians
off the coast of Kamchatka. It was similar work that he
and I did in Eastern Europe. I have many pictures of him
if anyone thinks they are related.

John Dzema was my uncle. He was shot down in an EC-121 in 1969. I was only 6 at the time and have little memory of him. I had a marker placed at Arlington Cemetery a few years ago. I'd love to see any pictures or hear any stories.

Also, it was the North Koreans that shot down the EC-121, not the Russians.
