I read his story way back in the early 60s when I was in high school. It was a book about several medal of honor winners.
I am afraid if I had been the radio operator, the “City of Los Angeles” would have blown up in a fireball.
It is hard to account for the immense courage of some people.
Please thank StarCMC for todays thread.

Good evening, yarddog...the Medal of Honor recipients are truly amazing men!
Read: Psalm 72:12-20
Ive been on a number of mountaintops in the US in my time, and I can tell you that not much grows up there. The summits of mountains are bare rock and lichen. Thats not where you would normally find an abundance of grain.
But Solomon, who wrote Psalm 72, asked God for an abundance of grain . . . on the top of the mountains, to characterize his reign as king. If grain on the mountain is so unusual, what is Solomon suggesting? That Gods power can produce results in even the most unpromising soil?
Perhaps you think of yourself as a little person, with very little to bring to the kingdom. Take courage: God can produce an abundant harvest through you. This is one of the ironies of faith: God uses the insignificant to accomplish the great. Not many of us are wise or noble; most of us are anonymous and far from extraordinary. Yet all of us can be used. And contrary to what we might think, it is because of our weakness that we can be used by God (1 Cor. 1:27-29; 2 Cor. 12:10).
Its possible to be too big or proud for God to use, but we can never be too little. Out of weakness we are made strong (Heb. 11:34). By Gods great power, we can do all that He has called us to do.
Good evening, mountainlion....he knew exactly what he had to do to save “his” plane and crewmen. He also knew the danger to his life, but he did it anyway!! Amazing courage!!
