Towers Tells of Flight and Enduring Drift to Ponta Delgada
Commander John H Towers described the NC-3 flight from Trepassey Newfoundland to Ponta Delgada as stalled by exceptionally bad weather. Despite fuel limits, heavy fog and storm, the crew kept calm and carried on while bailing water, maintaining radio silence until arrival.
