TAYLOR'S nr,.;,r Trff" .wir,!ifi.i'jm Friday, Nov. 10, 1844 today was credited with saving the lives of four seriously wound ed men in his crew after a run ning fight with six Jap Zeros, With most of his controls shot away, Lt. Robertson, of Chicago, and bis co-pilot, Lt. Fred Hoefr sema, also of Chicago, chose to crash-land the bullet riddled B-24 rather than risk parachuting the wounded crew members into country where they might die if help did not arrive immediate ly. In Borrowed Bomber "The Miss Patsy Terry," which Robertson, who is only 22 years old, had borrowed from another pilot for the flight into enemy territory, had showered 300- pound bombs on two air strips on the northern tip of Negros island in the Philippines. The ship was one of a forma tion of Liberators making the raid and half an hour after they left the target, six Zeros dived on them out of an overcast, forcing them to break formation. 'The zeke came in from the south right at us, made a couple of slow rolls and let us have it," Robertson said. 'Their first attack knocked out our radio and our hydraulic electric system. While I was screaming for some one to cover us, we were completely out of communication with anybody. Ammunition AH Used "Our gunners blazed away," Robertson continued, "and shot up all our ammunition. I didn't see any of the Zeros go down I was too busy but I don't see DRUM .1 -ri - i J t 1 how we could have missed hit ting some of them." . The plane, which was flying tail-end Charlie In the forma tion was near Mindanao when the Zeros put more than 100 machine gun and 20 mm gun bul lets through her. Four of the gunners were hit at their posts and a fifth man was killed. Then began the hour-and-a-half flight of 350 miles to Leyte. "Hoeksema and I had to fly with our feet propped against the wheel straining to keep her nose down, Robertson said. "We took turns holding the wheel un til our legs gave out. I didn't tell the rest of the crew that we didn't have any controls. Masterful Landing "They had enough to worry about." We, at this landing strip, watched Robertson throw bis plane into a low dive for a land ing. He gave his motors "every thing they had" to lift the big ship over to our strip. His job ot bellylanding without controls was incredibly masterful. It was Robertson's 10th mis sion and the ninth for the rest of the crew except the top turret gunner from Portsmouth, Va., who is a veteran ot 33 South Pa cific flights.
