Texas Ace Rescues Others Led by Captain Mueller
Captain Alvin Mueller of Begum Texas commanded a bomber rescue mission in the South Pacific. His crew included Co Pilot Paul Cuot, Navigator Harry Gardner, and Sergeants Welle Brown and Robert Morley. After a forced down on a near-deserted atoll they survived five harrowing days aided by coconuts and dried fish. Mueller, already decorated for service in the Philippines and Java, earned a reputation as a shuttle service rescuer, ferrying over 300 people to safety from under enemy fire. He aimed to return with more evacuees, signaling the rescue milestone despite isolation on the atoll.
