SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Two years after he made history by becoming the Navy's first black pilot,*Ensign Jesse Brown*lay trapped in his downed fighter plane in subfreezing*North Korea, his leg broken and bleeding. His wingman crash-landed to try to save him, and even burned his hands trying to put out the flames.A chopper hovered nearby. Lt. j.g.*Thomas Hudner*could save himself, but not his friend. With the light fading, the threat of enemy fire all around him and Brown losing consciousness, the white son of a New England grocery-store magnate made a promise to the black son of a sharecropper."We'll come back for you."More than 60 years have passed. Hudner is now 88. But he did not forget. He is coming back
