th
e
ingenuity
of
a
ae ■ber
of
the crew
an
a
slim metal cartridge belt.
This
fortress
was
l
impin

T
he tail
gunner had been killed by anti-aircraft fire. Flak had
also
seriously wounded the
navi
g
ator, and s
h
ot
away
the
big
ship's
rudder control.
The pilot,
First
Lieutenant Sharp of Portchester,
lew Yori,
circled the field r
ad
ioin down to the control
tower that he was unable to land. But Master Sergeant
Harold Older of Granada,
Minnesota,
caae to the rescue.
Sergeant Older, a veteran of eight years' service, once
served on
a
ground
crew mechanical staff in the Phil-
ippin~s. And - this
was
his thirtieth air mission over
Europe.
The
Ser
g
e,
who wa
s
gunner
in the top turret,
realizin
g
they
were
in
trouble, climbed down from his
turret and said he
mi ht
be able to fix the ruder
control. "Jus
t k
ee
p
oing,"
he
advised
the pilot.
The fuel
was running
l
o
~
, but Lieutenant Shar
p
kept
circlin
g
as
slowly
as
he
dared.
The
Serge went
to
work on a
cartrid e belt.
Fi
r
st
he twisted and bent
the
clips.
Then he
fished
u
p
the
s
e
vered radder cables
fro ■
the
waist
of the
plane.
He
hoo
k
ed the
ends of these
into the bent cli
p
s of th
c
a
rtridge bet,
while
Lieutenant
Sharp kept circlin
g
for three-quarters of
an hour
with
his
fuel tank getting emptier
and
emptier.
At
the end of the
forty-five
minutes, Sergeant Older
sang
out:-
'Try her
now.
She may hold. And she may not.
But
try
her, boy!•
Down below
ground
crews
and fliers
were
watching
anxiously.
Lieutenant Sharp eased his plane
down, hit the ground with his wheels, coasted two
hundred feet, and rolled to a stop,
with
everybody
sefe, thanks to the resourcefulness of a master sergeant.
