One Glimmer...

I meant to post this last week when I found this article about the life of Robert F. Maguire, Jr., who apparently dedicated a great portion of his life and career to bringing refugee Jews from all over the world home to Israel. Most notably, he was the lead pilot for Operation Magic Carpet, the project that evacuated nearly the entire Jewish population of Yemen from Aden in 1948-50.

I am grateful not only to learn about this chaver, but also to clarify at least one true identity out of my historical confusion surrounding Exodus. Maguire seems to have been loosely represented by Foster J. MacWilliams.
