men theoretically merge t h
uninjured parts of their bodies
into one pilot and manage to
fly back.
There's the now famous case
of Lieutenants C h r e D.
(Gat Ross and Otis Little.
Cat was a Mitchell first pilot
who h ii S from Montrose,
Colo, and Otis is a co-pilot
who comes f m MILO. Miss.
1t was strictly a syncroniza-
ton special.
They were just over the tar
get south of Bologna the first
of the month and the flax was
thick enough to spin the
wheels. The plane to their left
was hit. The plane under them
went down. And the air was
bursting wide open on all sides.
Suddenly, Cat got a terrific
impact in the right leg and a
dizzying jolt on the right side
of his face. One piece of flax
had torn a hole in the top of
his leg and another had
whipped through his lip and
cheek and was embedded in
the flesh above his cheek
bone. His squirting blood blind
ed him.
At the same time, Little was
hit in the right hand but Cat
motioned for him to take the
controls and he flew with one
hand holding the controls.
Opening the window, Cat be-
gan to get his senses back.
When the rush of cold air hit
his face, he thought all his
teeth had been knocked out or
that his jaw had been crushed
and Clipped. He felt relieved

they feathered the prop and
limped along-a battered plane
with one engine out, pilot
with one useless leg and
slashed face and half blinded
by his own blood, and CO.
pilot with one useless leg and
one useless arm.
There was nothing to do but
combine their assets.
And that's the way they
journeyed home: Cats hands
were all right SO he handled
the wheel, and Otis, whose
eyes were not bothered. sat be-
side him. The pilot used his I'M
injured left foot on the left rud-
der pedal and the co-pilot du-
plicated on the right pedal
with his uninjured foot.
Nearing the field the blonde,
stocky pilot called the tower
and told them to "get the meat
wagon ready" that he was
coming in on one engine with
two wounded guys. He didn't.
say which two.
Neither one quite knows how
they did it but the landing of
the approximation special was
a "greaser', which is this out
fits term for the smoothest
possible landing. Then Ross
and Little were hauled off to
the hospital.
They are back out now and
they are here again but Cat
isn't flying yet.
The reason: Botn his big
toes are swathed in bandages
the results of an operation
for ingrown toenalls.
