May 6, 1048 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FAI PAGE NINB oTail Gunners Lifeless Hand Releases Raft From Sunken Bomber, Saves Crew OS By OLEN CLEMENTS WITH THIS U, S. AIRKOnCE IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC, April 10 (Delayed) JP) Copt L. F. Krobs, of Fonda, In., pilot of a big B-24, looked anxiously out thu pianos window for a place to lund, Henderson fluid on Guudiil cannl Island was cloned In Unlit by rain and fog and darkm-ss, and co-Pilot Jack Nowell, Co lumblli, Mo., culled out that thera was practlcully no gaso' Unit Inft. Krobs hud but nno choice art her down and hopa they were over water. Ho ordered the radio antenna reeled out 200 feet aa a feeler for land or water or Jugged mountains that form the southern Solomons, 'Then ho started down through fo and rain. Kvery man In the nino-mun crew huIcI a silent prayer and waited for death or a fighting chanco In tho wuter, If they were lucky. They had donned life preservers and huddled to gether In the radio compart ment omldshlp,' rcudy to ro lease Ufa rufts und then crawl through the top hatch when the plane hit the wntcr. Tho bomber descended a thousand feet a minute. Two engines quit. Out of gas. Rain and clouds oblllornled every thing, even tho durkness of night. Suddenly there wns a blind ing flush below. This Is It, thought every mini. The anten na hud hit something and the bomber had but 200 feet to de- cend. Was It land or water? ends of sweat broko out on every man's brow. Krebs let her down ever so slowly, repeating to hlmoclf each foot that he would never make It. Nowell hdd his eyes glued to tho Instrument board. Tho men huddled In the radio room and Sgt. A. S. Hatfield, Salt Lako City, reached for tho handle to release the big lifo raft. The tall gunner moved to release the small raft. Then she hit with a big splash. The bomber broko Into three pieces. The tail sank with blurp. With the toll went tho tall gunner and the raft for which he was reaching when last seen. I Hatfield was knocked but by the shock. The nose of the lane flipped downward and robs and Nowell were trap. ped Inside the cabin while tho water rushed In. By super-human efforts they managed to crawl ouUldo the windows and swim to the sur face. All of tho bomber then sunk from sight. It was black s pitch and an hour before dawn. Krebs called to the swimming men. All wero there but the tall gunner. He didn't get out Then came the most horrible realization of all none of the life rafta had been released. It was sink or swim and nobody knew where to or how far. Krebs called to tho men to form a circle, having read or heard somewhere that If a group forms a circle In the wuter tho sharks are not likely to strike. One by one ha rounded them up: Lieut. James lieed, Nash ville, Tonn.; Llout. J. D. New mnn, Luke Charles, La.; Sgt. Ciustafson; Sgt. M, E. Hatfield; Sgt. Sheehan; Sgt. A. S. Hat field, and Llout, Nowell. Only the toll gunner was missing There was nothing to do now but wuit. Nobody said much of anything. There was nothing much to say. If only the tall gunner hnd managed to release his raft tharo might have been somo hope. One enlisted man said he saw tho toll gunnor almost reach tho raft's release when tho crash came. They mused over this for an hour, wishing but not during to hope that dawn would bring now hope. Finally It grow light enough to see. Nowhere was the raft to be seen. Practically all abandoned hope then. Suddenly tho wuter ripped and up shot a email raft from the deep, Krebs saw It first und yelled. Then they all yolled. It was the raft the tall gunner had been trying to re lease when he died. Tho men piled into It and sighted land 20 miles away. They fought a strong current for two days and nights and reached safety on an island, where they were rescued later. Back in the harness now, each of tho fortunate eight will tell you that It wasn't fate that released that raft below water but the dead hand of the tail gunner, whose name cannot be released because the war de partment won't permit the publishing of tha name of the war dead, oxcept as released In Washington.
