M A T U R « well after dawn, and if we encoun tered Jap fighters, there I'd be, with sergeants stuffed into every corner of the plane, so that we wouldn’t have room to swivel a ma chine gun in our own defense. “ Or we could tape up our leaky line, get the hell out of there in the darkness, and pray the leak didn’t get worse or a hot exhaust stack didn't set it off in mid-air. We chanced it, and made it all right, but it turned out to be my last trip, because the next day the Japs came back and put out of com mission what was left of Clark Field. " I got the story from Eddie Oliver, who had been my navigator on Old 99—he and I were the only survivors of the entire crew—when he got down to Del Monte a few days later. “ The Japs, having reccoed Clark Field thoroughly, came over all ready for business. Some guy had carelessly left a pillow exposed in the cornfield, so they knew we’d been sleeping there. They blew hell out of it with their high-altitude stuff, and didn't touch the regular flying field, which they'd put out in the first day's raid. Then their fight- "O f course when I heard all this I also heard about the whopping big target he'd hit and sunk. But I didn't think much of this at the time, and I don’t think Colin did either. “ If I know the boy. and I think I do. after he saw his oxygen system was on fire, and had given orders for the other guys to jump, and was sitting there hanging back on his j stick and fighting his rudder in order to give them a chance to do it, he I wasn't thinking about how many gross tons that Japanese ship dis placed, but about his parents and Marian and little Corkie. And later when he was trying to crawl out of the upper escape hatch before his clothes caught on fire, it was the same, and still later, when he cleared the hatch but saw the ground coming up at him, too close and too fast for his chute ever to have a chance to crack open, I don’t think he was worrying about how big his post humous medal was going to be, but only worrying about Marian and Corkie. "A little later in the afternoon one of our fighters came in and began to circle the field, fluttering like a wounded bird. I could see it was something serious — guessed even then an aileron might be shot away, i so I gave him the green light to come in and land. He began to j make passes at the field, cutting his throttle to pick out the strip of ! straight sand through the bomb cra ters, marked by a maze of red flags we'd put up. But each time he’d throttle back his left wing would drop and he'd have to gun her again, making a slow climbing circle up off the field. “ It began to get me. 'Come on, ' son, come on, put it down, before we get into trouble.’ On the last trial ! he gunned it, came around, and then : tried to pull up straight, but too late. . Teetering down the field, he caught He wasn't thinking about bow- one wing on one of our slightly damaged Fortresses, tearing it off, many gross tons that Jap ship dis and then himself cartwheeled off into placed. the trees—killing a sergeant who had ‘ been working on a plane back there. ers came over and with incendiaries ' The pilot wasn’t hurt much himself, set fire to the mpa shacks which but one more of our precious few , had been our quarters.

Eddie, of course, was Frank's navigator on Old 99. But what about the other boys? Why hadn't Frank told me to wire their families of all the sergeants. It wasn't like Frank to forget. "Then I had to do something about myself—I could see that. Sitting in my room thinking, I would go to pieces. And I wanted to get started doing something useful before Christ mas. Back in October Frank prom ised me he'd call on Christmas Day, and now I realized I ’d been building on hearing his voice then more than j I knew. I also realized that maybe ; he wouldn't be able to.

But suppose Frank did call me Christ- ; mas, and missed me? I decided to ! w att in Omaha for that call. “ But just waiting would drive any- | one crazy. I wanted to help—to g e t i close to the Air Corps. So I went down to Colonel Houghland’s office i —he was air officer of our ?th Corps ' area in Omaha—and put it up to him. “ He didn't laugh because I wanted j to work without pay—he couldn't ; have been nicer. He showed me huge piles of applications for avia- tion-cadet assignments in the Air Corps that were coming in. I could help, he explained, by classifying and filing these, getting them in their proper groups, help speed up the stream of reinforcements which the boys out East would need so badly—we didn't dream how badly.” CLASSIFIED D E P A R T M E N T PO U LTRY monk m i i Fiiv m o r e r a m Coehr.n'a N e w H n m p a b ire o r P a ra tn w n tw r K ode, W r it» t s e h r« « F e u ltr y F a r m . t a n k y , O re .
