He fell into the ocean s off the Japanese island of hu and saw his plane taxi y without him. A third Navy pilot then rescued | his two mates with the Japanese do- ing a lot of fancy shooting, but hit- ting nothing. It happened this way: Lieut. (jg) Vernon T. Coumbre, 24 | cf Lombard, Ill, was shot down by ack-ack August 9, during an attack ion an airfield near the Ominato Na- val base on Honshu. He attempted jto. paddle out to sfa in his life raft, but he was washed ashore on the island. He hid in a clump of trees for the night. | The next morning he saw two | tighter-escorted Kingfisher planes approaching. He attempted to put lout in his raft, but was washed |back ashore Then, one of the | Kingfishers came in for a landing | As ke did Japanese shore guns open- led up on him. The pilot, Lieut. | Ralph J. Jacobs, taxied to the edge of the breakers, about 50 yards oif shorc. “I saw Coumbre would be unable to make his way through the surf,” Jacobs said, “so I stcod up and tricd to toss him a line. Just then en unusually heavy breaker shook the plane viclently and threw me out, of the cockpit into the water.” As he fell Jacob's foot hit the throttle and the pilotless plane turrad into he wind and started off acrcss the bay with the Japanese still shooting at it. Evidently they hadn't seen Jacobs fall into the it. (jg) Almon P. Oliver of| ard, Caiif., the second King- pilot, saw Jacob’'s plane taxi- cross the bay, and thought it" (was trying to take off. | “When it failed,” Oliver said lat-| “I went down to investigate and the cockpit was empty.” Oliver went back to investigate, saw the two stranded pilots and| wmt he described as a "lucky in exceedingly rough water with the Japanesz taking pot him. He taxied inshorejand the two pilots aboard. i & er managed to get his plme in the air, returning to his battle- ship with his tanks nearly empty.
