Sgt Hopper was one of the 10 members of the crew to
safely bail out of their B-29.
He also was the only one to survive the war.
The other nine died at the Tokyo Military Prison fire 25-26 May 1945.
Post war, the Quartermaster General contacted him
and requestd any information that he had
concerning how the B-29 was lost and
the status of his fellow crew members.
