gines and ambulances stood by but

done.

trup Airport the nose landing wheel

prepared to make belly landing.
Then he discovered the main land

down.
He wriggled his slim body
through a narrow passage in the
ships nose. With an ak he chopped
open the fuselage and got to work
on the wheel gear, his head and
shoulders outside the craft.
As he worked, the plane circled
the landing field. Baker got the
wheel down and the plane made s
