Thank you Alaskan Airlines for saving 50,000 people.

Readily ignored are the approximately 850,000 Jews made refugees from Muslim countries since the early 20th century. But not to be forgotten, is Captain Elgen Long and his crews for Alaskan Airlines who from 1948 to 1950, saved approximately 50,000 Yemeni Jews from Yemen. Today, these survivors number some 750,000.

Capt. Long is remembered as a hero for repeatedly risking his life to save so many worlds...

Sure is interesting. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall...

B"H! I never heard of the captain or this set of operations. Amazing!

Really is amazing! I just learned about him and the ops. too. Wish they had named a few of the crew. Thanks.

Sure thing! Keep sharing :)
