Crash Landing Avoided in Pacific Flight After Battle
Fleet Air Wing Four members from Paramushiro Island recalled a tense dogfight over the North Pacific. Pilot Poel of Corpus Christi aided by Ensign Rielley wheeled into a cloud after a Japanese fighter shell exploded. Navigator Warner kept the ship on course with a spare compass as hydraulic damage threatened a water-logged landing. Crew diverted wine? fuel to stave off loss, then landed safely with the hydraulic leak staunched.
