formed a company and fought on
Bataan. Their camp was bombed 81
times. 1t. Swenson told of one
bombing:
"One bomb landed on our star
board, blowing a hole seven feet
deep and over ten feet wide. This
hole, we found out after raising
up from the dirt blown on top Of
us, was close enough that we could
reach over and put our hand in the
edge of It,"
Some pilots were smuggled out Of
Bataan to join the rest OF Patwing
Ten in the south-others were taken
prisoner with General Wainwright S
forces. The flying activities Of the
wing were now centered around
Java, the Navy said.
Some of them stalked Jap task
forces. Sometimes they'd knock
over a Jap Zero. and sometimes the
Zero would knock over the P. B. Y.
But there we're a lot more Zeros
than there we're P. B. Y.'s and the
thinning out was continuous.
Pilot Van Bibber tells of one Of
these fights with Zero.
Turned Back Too Soon.
HE made four runs on us, firing
on us every time he passed over. On
the fourth run, he either got in a
hurry or was an inexperienced pilot,
because he started to turn back on
us too soon and pulled in right above
our quarter, wide open for Sun
day shot.
The other waist gunner hit his
cockpit. He fell off on a wing-tip
and started smoking. fell about l.
900 feet and burst into flames"
On January 16, on patrol out
of Java, another plane ran into
Zeros. Chief Aviation Machinist's
Mate T. T. Bond said:
The second pilot shouted over
the phones: Twelve Jap planes dead
ahead. Man your guns The pilot
Immediately put the plane in a
straight dive. We were at 10000
feet. I looked out of the side and
saw that all the fabric was gone
off both wings
Rather than abandon ship. the
third pilot, c. NJ Bannowsky, de-
cided to try to land.
Il was very fortunate in making
a good landing, as the fabric on
both wings was missing" says Mr..
Bannowsky in classic of under

afterwards We got so tired we just

They would shoot at us with two
machine guns: as they saw the

to us. they would open up the cam

on over the tail turret would fire
on us"
They crawled ashore on a small
