The transport pilot got off-course in bad weather and his radio stopped working at about the same time - his fuel tanks were reading “empty” when he spotted the landing strip on Bataan.

I bet he couldn't believe that an American plane was trying to shoot him down. I guess he later found out how lucky he was that he was shot down.
