The Navy said six of the wound- ed still are in serious .condition, but all are.-showing definite im- The tragedy occurred when a Navy Corsair warplane returned from an airstrike with one bomb still dangling from the wing. As the plane touched the flight deck, the bomb. tore loose, bounced twice on the deck and exploded. Ammunition went . off, Frag- ments pierced the gas tanks of a jet fighter, pouring gasoline onto the hangar deck. The pilot, knocked unconscious, ‘was rescued by’ an ‘airman who dashed through the flames and ex- plosions, cut loose the parachute harness and hauled ‘the flier to safety. The two killed were Thomas Leo. McGraw, 22, photographer airman, of Theresa, N. Y., Thomas M. Yeager, 19, aviation electrician airman, of Columbus,0. The photographer was at his station to.take. motion pictures of the carrier landings. When « the bomb came loose, he started his camera. The camera was shat- tered by the explosion and Mc- Graw was killed instantly. The Navy said the film escaped destruction and would be released tonight. Yeager was killed by fragmenta- tion: while repairing electrical cir- cuits of an aircraft on the deck. Airman Richard D.

This, he understood, was the price a man paid for sheer carelessness. In- stead of making a wary circle to scout for sign of ambush, he had ridden in here with a calf in his arms, defenseless as a handcuffed sheepherder. And as witless. In these first moments he had no awareness of being afraid. The adetan of fear woulli come to im presently, but right now he felt ashamed. “Git down,” Jubal ordered.
