Crippled KC97 Lands Safely After Perilous Flight
An Air Force KC97 flying from Honolulu to Los Angeles landed safely at LAX after losing engines and navigation aids in storms. Pilot Captain Harry Platt ordered crew to discard nonessential gear as the No 2 engine failed, with the plane limping home on remaining power. Navigator St Albert Hough and crew endured a tense 1300 miles over water before a wheel and nose gear loss, but the four engine craft touched down on a precarious left-side thrust landing.
