Capt. Cronkhite nurses what's
left of the Thunderbird over
the desert while Tom does the
praying. IF we came in on a
wing and prayer, the latter was
all mine"
After dark the pilot levels off
where he thinks the field ought
to be. shoots a red flare, and
sure enough when they look
below - there's our field over
there" =.
All the casualties walk to the
ambulance. In three days Tom
and the bombardier are out
sleeping in foxholes. A week
and a half later Tom is back
at his gun to begin the second
half of so combat missions and
earn himself the DFC, Purple
Heart, and Air Medal with 10
clusters.

four tanks.

They Hear Their Song

One night, shortly afterward
the crew of the Thunderbird
is sitting in the operations tent
listening to a radio. Word has
reached them in the form of
news clippings, and rumor that
a song has been written about
them. Ted, the tail-gunner sits
up suddenly and says, Hey!
That must be us :" They
listen in awkward embarrass-
ment as they hear for the first
time, Comm in-on a wing
and a prayer =. -
Tom is still little embar-
raised when he talks about it..
"Yeh, we got so we'd hum the
tune, but we never could re-
member the words :"
When Tom reached his 50th
and last mission, an unaccount-
able terror seized him.
l don't know whether il was
the last ride superstition or
whether my nerves were burned
out. but / was awful afraid of
something, shaking like a leaf
getting into the airplane, and
worse when we took off. No
use going into details, but every
thing seemed to 60 wrong-our

and a few miles out of Sicily,

on our three planes at the tail
of the formation.

Nazi Plane Smashed

He sees the Focke-Wulf start
to go to pieces, then disin-
tegrate completely, but Tom
doesn't see the one that hits
his turret with a 20-mm. shell
TO knock out the left gun and
explode shrapnel into Toms
forehead and the left side of his
face.
When Tom discovers the tur-
ret won't work, he crawls up
to make his report so the pilot
can take "evasive action" Eva
sive action It's all Capt.
Little John" Cronkhite of
Florida can do to keep the
Thunderbird right side up.
Tom finds the cabin a

ments in the. face, neck and
hands; the bombardier laid out

Tom Really Too Big

Because of his 6-foot stature,
Tom didn't belong in a ball
turret. They're strictly for
rnIdgets OF fiVe-CWo or less, and
whenever Tom curled up in
there, Of course there wasn't
room for such niceties as a Mae
West or a parachute harness.
Which, in the % previous raids,
was all right with Kelly since
he considered it bad luck any
how TO plan ahead for such
things"
The first intimation that this
trip was to be different comes
in the voice Of Ted Nastal, a
Detroit boy, yelling so loud in
the mike, II got i'm" that it
startles the whole crew.
It's Ted's first one, and he
calls Hey, watch that
one go down." Kelly sees the

Mountains Still There

He isn't kidding. l can see
the ground less than 900 feet
below, and, though the fighters
have left us, / know we've still
got mountains to go over.
How Little John" does it I'll
never know, because l see
mountains close on either side
of us out the waist window.
That's when the sight of the
damage to the left wing with

scares me.
