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

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.
