(Continued from Page 4)
For two days on our approach
we had been knocking off Jap
reconnaisance planes and picket
boats. We hoped we had got these
scattered planes and boats before
they had time to radio back home
the news of our presence. One of
our destroyers had even sat all day
on top of a Jap submarine to keep
him from coming to the top and
sending a warning.
But still we didn't know for sure,
so there was tenseness that first
morning. We knew almost exact
ly what time our first planes would
be over the Tokyo area.
We went to the radio room to lis
ten. The usual Japanese programs
were on the air. We watched the
clock. Suddenly—at just the ’•ight
time—the Jap stations all went off
the air.
There was silence for a few min
utes. And then the most Donald
Duck-like screaming and jabbering
you ever heard. The announcer was
so excited you had to laugh.
We knew our boys were there.
And that, for us on the ship, it was
just a matter of waiting, and hop
ing. And as the blackboard sign
said, of being poor scared pals.
Finally all but six of the planes
were back from their strike on
Tokyo and safely landed.
The six formed a separate flight,
and we couldn’t believe that all of
them had been lost, and for that
reason our officers didn’t feel too
concerned.
And then came a radio message
from the flight leader. It said that
one of the six was down in the
ocean, and that the other five were
hanging around to try to direct
some surface vessel to his rescue.
That’s all we knew for hours. When
we finally got the story, this was it:
Ens. Robert Buchanan of Clem
enton, N. J., was hit by flak as they
were diving on their target some
20 miles west of Tokyo. Buchanan
himself was not hurt.
He kept his plane up till he got
over water, but it was still very
much Japanese water. In fact, it
was in Tokyo’s outer bay—the big
ger one of the two bays you see
on the map leading in to Tokyo.
Ensign Buchanan is an ace, with
five Jap planes to his credit. He
ditched his plane successfully, and
got out in his rubber boat. He was
only eight miles from shore, and
five miles from the big island that
stands at the bay entrance.
Then the flight leader took
charge. He is Lieut. John Fecke
of Duxberry, Mass. He is also an
ace, and an old hand at the game.
He has downed seven Jap planes.
Fecke took the remaining four of
the flight, and started out looking
for an American rescue ship. They
found one about 30 miles off the
bay entrance.
They talked to him on the radio,
told him the circumstances, and he
sent back word he w f as willing to
try. But he asked them to stick
with him and give air support.
So Lieutenant Fecke ordered the
other four to stay and circle above
the ship, while he went back to
pick up Buchanan’s location and
guard him.
But when he got there, he could
not find Buchanan. He flew for 25
minutes around Tokyo bay and w f as
about to despair, when he began
getting sun flashes in his eyes.
He flew over about three miles
and there was Buchanan. He had
used his signal mirror, just like it
says in the book.
Snatched From
Lion's Mouth
In the meantime, the ship’s prog
ress was slow*. It took almost tw’o
hours to get there. And one by
one the aerial escort began getting
trouble, and one by one Fecke or
dered them home to our ship, which
was getting farther away all the
time.
Lt. Irl Sonner of Petaluma, Calif.,
lost the use of his radio, and had to
leave.
Lt Max Barnes of Olympia,
Wash., got dangerously low on gas,
and Fecke sent him home. Gas

own injuries and paralysis from an
automobile accident and the long
years of recovery (mental and phys
ical). The story is told movingly
and includes valuable therapeutic
material. “The book has wisdom
and eloquence; and there are pas
sages which touch the emotion like
poetry that tells too much. ' and
aside from ite personal revelation,
it is a thoughtful study of the psy
chology of rehabilitation and the
practical value of training the
physically handicappel. What it
says should be the knowledge of
every family to which a w’ounded
soldier returns.”
Jan Karski s STORY OF A SE
CRET STATE, a stirring account
of Poland’s political and military
struggles and her underground
movement, is a book about which
the critics feel strongly, for or
against, the majority of them re
acting favorable. It is an absorb
ing tale, and an unforgettable one.
Emily Hahn, in CHINA TO ME,
tells the gripping story of her ex
periences in China from 1935 until
her return to the United States on
the Gripsholm in 1943.
With the coming emphasis on
the war with Japan it is helpful
to get the insight into Japanese
character and pilosophy which
Russell Brines so skillfully gives

shortage also sent back Lt. Bob
Murphy of Muncie, Ind.
That left only Lieutenant Fecke
circling above the man in the boat,
and Lt. Arnold Berner of Spring
dale, Ark., flying lone aerial escort
for the rescue ship.
Finally the ship was past the bay
entrance. The skipper began to have
his doubts. He had to go within
three miles of the gun-dotted island-
He was within five minutes flying
distance of land, and Jap planes
could butcher him.
Furthermore he looked at his
chart, and saw that he was in “re
stricted waters,” meaning they were
probably mined. It was certainly no
place for a ship to be.
The skipper radioed Fecke and
said he couldn’t go any farther.
Fecke radioed back and said, “It's
only two miles more. Please try.”
The skipper answered and said.
“Okay, well try.”
And they pulled it off. They went
right into the lion's mouth, pulled
out our pilot, and got safely away.
Then, and then only, did Fecke and
Berner start home-
They came back to us three hours
after all the rest had returned.
They had flown six hours on a
three-hour mission. But they helped
save an American life by doing so.
Carrier Pilots Land
Almost on Dime
The first time you see a plane
land on a carrier you almost die.
At the end of the first day my
muscles were sore just from being
all tensed up while watching the
planes come in.
It is all so fast, timing is so split
second, space is so small well,
carrier pilots just have to be tops.
Planes don’t approach a carrier
as they would on land from way
back and in a long glide. Instead,
they almost seem to be sneaking up
as if to surprise it. They’re in such
an awkward position and flying at
such a crazy angle you don't see
how they can ever land on any
thing.
But it’s been worked out by years
of experience, and it’s the best way-
Everything is straightened out in the
last few seconds of flying. That is
if it works.

ing cut in two if you had to bail
out
“You turn the ship upside down
and fall out,” the pilot explained.
“But if you have to get out first
to let me out, who keeps the plane
upside down while I squeeze out of
this hole?” I asked. There was no
answer to that one, so we dropped
the subject.
We were off with a roar and shot
almost straight up into the sky.
We didn’t level off until we had
burst through the cloud layer, and
then we skimmed along the top of
the clouds, drinking in the glory
of the new world that is up there.
But the pleasure-drinking was
abruptly interrupted by the most
thrilling moment of the whole ride.
Another P-38 “Lightning” suddenly
shot out of a cloud bank right in
front of us and darn near ran us
down. The captain swore at the
guy and wished he knew who it
was so he could turn him in.
As soon as I was sure I wasn’t
going to get airsick, I told the pilot
to “shoot the works”. Which he did.
We did loops, Immelmann turns,
rollovers, and what-have-you, in
fact anything in which the centri
fugal force did not throw us against
the top of the canopy, as I had no
safety belt where I was.
But the most thrilling sensation
was in th“ power dive. We climbed
to 12,000 feet, which Is supposed
to be as high as you should go
without oxygen, and turned the
nose of the “Lightning” toward the
earth. Down we went, the speed

ometer registering over four-hun
dred miles per hour. When the cap
tain started to pull us out of 14 I
felt like some new and different
being. All the blood rushed from
my head, my lower jaw sagged open,
the flesh of my cheeks seemed to
be drawn downward, my neck ached
from holding my head up, and my
arms were practically immobile.
This was all caused by the centri
fugal force, which makes your
weight increase so many times that
your muscles cannot perform their
normal function. It is really a very
peculiar feeling.
After circling the island, we re
turned to the airport. I thanked
the pilot for the ride and staggered
over to the supply shack to turn
in my ’chute.
