Ike Farrar recalls an incident during his training for
the Air Corps during WWII.
"So actually his plane started flat spinning down to
earth. He jumped out of the wing. He was fixing to parachute
down and he found his machine gunner was hung up in the back so he climbs
back in on that flat. That plane was spinning, going down, and got
him loose. See the machine gunner kept two belts on, first cross his
legs just like a regular pilot then he had another one that came up and
went around his legs so he had --- he would unbuckle the one and use just
the one on his legs down there. So his legs was hung and he went
back and got that machine gunner and both of them parachuted to
safety. He should have got a medal for it." |
