Details are sketchy.
Yes I also remember this rescue and it was as discribed except that the Air Force had dropped a raft and when we arrived on the scene the guys in the raft had put up a sail and were heading for Guam. It was a specially equipped whale boat with sail, center board, emergency LF radio, water cannisters and food rations. Bill Harvey told me about the rescue of a C-47 crew in the fall of 1947 by Chivo. Details are sketchy.
