CHAPTER XVIII
“ I had only four bombs—we hadn’t
had time to load more before the
air-raid alarm blew and we’d had
to clear off the field—so I sighted on
the last ship and let go all four in a
stick.
“If you're dropping instantaneous
fuse bombs, of course you see the
splash of deck planking and debris
the instant it hits, but it doesn’t do
much damage—all on the surface.
But these were delayed-action fuses.
From that altitude there isn’t much
to see when they first crack the
deck. There’s a little pause, and
then there's the sweetest geyser of
deck splinters, and foam, and m a­
chinery, and Japanese infantry cor­
porals you’d ever hope to gaze down
at. As I think I said, we blew her
stern off. I kept peeking back un­
til the debris subsided, and I could
see solid blue water between the
two halves of the ship.
“ We got back to Madiun Field
just in time to take off in the face of
three strafing Zeros, our side gun­
ner—a National Guard boy we'd
picked up in Java; the rest of his
outfit all stayed and got captured—
knocking one of them down almost
before we got our wheels up. When
the other two went away we re­
landed, and found a bomb some­
where had knocked our electricity
out. We had to refuel by hand, us­
ing flashlights. Also we were us­
ing them trying to repair our brakes
when all of a sudden came a terrific
Bang! It shook the ship so badly
it knocked one guy off the wing, and
he fell face-down on the field. Of
course we were sure that the Japs,
seeing our flashlights, had dropped
a bomb. But no. Oh, no!
“ It was just the methodical Dutch,
carefully scorching the earth by
blowing up our ammunition dump,
which by some miracle we weren't
near at the time.
“ It seemed the order had just
come through to evacuate, because
the Japs were coming, and what
with the language difficulty, this was
their way of announcing it. The
funny thing was, for weeks they’d
had a gang of men working to im­
prove that field and repair the run­
ways. These guys kept right on
sweating away up until the minute
the order to evacuate came through
—then they went ahead sweating
just as hard to blow up what they’d
just been fixing.
“ We were jittery — been going
through a lot of strafing—but finally
got our plane refueled, and loaded
twenty-four men aboard. Wc still
had no brakes on the right wheel,
but we all hoped together in unison
that we'd clear the runway. We
did.
“ It was two o’clock in the morn­
ing. As we climbed for altitude we
could see refineries flaming all over
the island—fires and explosions—and
as we circled the field in the dark
for the last time, the Dutch down
below us threw a switch and blew
up that beautiful new concrete hang­
ar. It had huge arches like a bridge
span, control tower, and everything
—it all came rolling up at us in a
parting salute.
“ Now we were headed for Aus­
tralia, buzzing along at about 10,000
feet.”
“ Getting into Broome, Australia,
we began to worry about that bust­
ed brake, and the momentum we
would have when we hit the field
with all these men aboard. We could
lighten ship by having the guys bail
out, but the trouble was we had
only nine chutes. But when the
pilot called the airport, they re­
ported they had one runway which
ran uphill and was soft at the far
end—perfect for us, so we made a
beautiful landing.’’
“ I was still back in Surabaya,”
said the pilot, Frank Kurtz, “ be­
cause I had a couple of jobs to do.
The day we got Warrenfeltz off in
the Corregidor relief ship, the Colo­
nel had told me he was leaving Ma­
lang for Jokyakarta—the town we
called Jockstrap—and that I ’d bet­
ter join him there and he’d send me
out to Australia. All the other boys
of the 19th were going that day.
“ But I asked him if I couldn’t stay
over just a little longer. I was think­
ing of the fighter pilots. No one was
looking after them ; they had abso­
WN.U.PrATURU
lutely no liaison. When a place is
cracking up, everybody tends to
think of themselves. Why bother
about the fighters? They got in,
didn’t they? Well, let them get out
again. The trouble was the fighters
had got in with belly tanks, hop­
ping via Timor and Buli, which were
now held by the Japs.
“That day we heard a big Jap
force was closing in off the north
coast, headed for the Java beaches.
We got reports from scout planes,
even from submarines, but we didn’t
know just how big it was. Because
hanging over it was a Jap fighter
screen so thick that our recco planes
didn’t dare fly through to see.
,ftrh a t night out went the tiny
Dutch Navy—it was all they had
left—which pounded them under cov­
er of darkness and then pulled away.
It did some good, because in the
morning we found the Jap advance
guard, which had been headed right
for Java's beaches, now pulled back
a little, under that bomber-and-
fighter screen, waiting for the main
force to come on up.
"Colonel Eubank was now in Jock­
strap. and by telephone I put a prob­
lem up to him. The position of our
There's a little pause, and then

fighter pilots in Java was hopeless
now—any minute their field would
be hit by Jap bombers and put out
of operation. I wanted them to turn
their P-40's over to the Dutch fight­
er pilots (who had nothing left now
but three Hurricanes which had
been rescued from Singapore) and
come on out to Australia with us
where we couid continue the war.
“ Further air defense in Java was
hopeless. We had broken camp at
Malang—Jap bombers were swarm­
ing over the island.
"But Van Oeyen, the Dutch com­
mander, wouldn’t listen. He was a
stout old infantry officer, and he had
given orders to fight to the last.
“ We had to plead our viewpoint
with Van Oeyen. Yet it would be
hard to explain to men who were
defending their homes and families
in this beautiful island, whose lives,
when it fell, would be over.
“That night, fifty miles off Sura­
baya, the naval battle was resumed.
The main Japanese invasion force,
ringed by submarines, was headed
for our beaches. At midnight the
United Nations Navy moved in to
throw their little all into the balance.
This final night the Dutch struck no
glancing blow. It was now or nev­
er. They moved in and fought them
toe to toe, the Australians at their
side.
“ Java died that night in the gun­
fire which came rolling in over the
water. It took until dawn for the
Jap battle fleet to crunch to bits
the Dutch and Australian navies.
“ But early the morning before I
had put in a telephone call to Amer­
ica. It was to Margo, but it was
government business and the Dutch,
when they understood what it was
about, said they would pay the
charges themselves. They said the
connection might not be made until
midnight. I privately wondered if
it would go through at all. Java was
collapsing fast all around us.
“ But I said I’d take it whenever
it came, knowing I ’d get no sleep
that night—maybe little sleep for
many nights. So at midnight I start­
ed for tlie telephone office. Just ns
I was leaving the hotel 1 ran Into
Commander Peterson of the Navy's
Patrol Wing 10. By now he wus al­
most the sole survivor. He seemed
surprised to see me, told me he wus
just leaving for his plune—the last
of the Navy was leaving Java. He
asked how I expected to get out. I
said I didn't know. 'Come with me
now,* he said, ‘and I’ll take you out
to Australia.’ I couldn't. There was
that telephone call. And ulso I
m ustn't leave those American fight­
ers to be swallowed up in the col­
lapse tomorrow. So I thanked him;
we said good by.
“ Walking to the telephone build­
ing I could hear a dull rumble in
the hot midnight air coming from
far over the water. The few people |
in the blacked-out streets assumed it
wus distant thunder. I knew it was
the little Dutch Navy in its final
agony out there in the dark.
“ Then I waited in that dim-lit
mosquito-fiiled telephone building
for that call. Sitting on a bench,
with tlie help of a flashlight I made
my notes for the call. Then I paced
the floor. Each time tlie window
opened, letting out a little light, I !
was sure the half-caste girl was
telling me the call had been com­
pleted. I had other pressing busi­
ness, but none more pressing than
this. I thought of the eager face of
the boy just before he went out into
what looked like almost certain
death.”
“ From Florida,” said Margo, “ I
could hear the telephone operators
working, setting up that line all
around the world, from here where
it was noon to midnight in the trop­
ics. And fi.ully Frank's own voice.
'Have you got paper and pencil?’ he
asked. ’Now take down this name:
Mrs. W. H. Warrenfeltz, of Hagers­
town, Maryland. Her son Bud ia
going on a mission and he wants
her to know there probably will be
some money deposited to her ac­
count in the Hagerstown bank from
New York. Tell her Bud sends his
love to Billy, Jane, and all, and of
course to her. He wants her to use
half the money to buy her home,
and the rest is for her to live on, and
he wants her to be happy, however
it comes out.’ ”
“Then I told Margo the boy was
going on a most dangerous mission.
We didn’t know how dangerous until
after he left, for his course took
him right across the path of the
main Japanese fleet. And now,”
Frank said bitterly, “ this little story
has a happy ending, so far as the
War Department’s auditors are con-
ccrned. Because the five thousand
dollars which Bud Warrenfeltz
thought his mother was going to get,
when he went out to face the Japa-
nese fleet, was never paid. It never
cleared through the New York banks
before Java fell. I suppose those
New York bankers were more pru­
dent than Bud, and took no chances
on Java paper. So Bud's mother
didn’t get any money, and even Bud
himself never got through to Manila,
Let’s hope he's a Jap prisoner.”
“ After I’d written down the men-
sage to Mrs. Warrenfeltz, it seemed
that Frank just wanted to visit,"
said Margo. “Of course it was won-
derful to talk to him, because for
some reason there didn’t seem to
be any censors clicking in on the
line.”
“The censors had all caught the
boat,” explained Frank. “ In a few
hours the Japs would have Java, so
it didn’t much m atter what they
knew.”
“ But after we talked about fifteen
minutes I began to worry,” said
Margo. "Living on an Air Corps
salary, you have to think of money.
As we talked I couldn’t help think­
ing it was six dollars and a half for
every minute, and I said we'd bet­
ter hang up. Then he explained
we could talk all wc liked, because
it was a government call."
“ I didn’t tell her what govern­
ment it was on,” said Frank. “She
didn’t know that the Japanese were
taking over tomorrow, and they
would get the bill."
“ After that it was wonderful,”
said Margo. “ Frank was coming
through as clearly as if he were In a
pay station downtown. He told me
there would be no more calls for a
while, and from that I guessed that
maybe in a week or so the Air Corps
would be retiring to Australia. I
didn’t dream that the Japanese
were already just off the bench, that
Frank didn't know how he could get
out.
“ He talked a lot about a letter
he’d written me months ago from
the Philippines, a few days after
the first Japanese attack, when he
thought there was no chance of his
getting out alive—explaining that
while he’d meant every word of It,
yet he’d been tired when he wrote
it, so I was not to tuke it too seri­
ously.
