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.

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

to wire their families of all the

on hearing his voice then more than j
I knew. I also realized that maybe ;
he wouldn't be able to. If that call I
didn't come through, it would be j
hard for me to take.

down to Colonel Houghland’s office i
—he was air officer of our ?th Corps '

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-

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.”
