“I never was rattled . . . . I could never remember really being scared. I know I was. Had to be. But I had control of it.”
“The pilot sent the radio operator back there to see if they got me . . . and he climbed, crawled, right there beside the side of that tail wheel, and he never did get back all the way where I was at, but he . . . saw me sitting up and he saw me move a little. So, he went back and told the pilot, ‘I guess he’s alright. I think he’s still alive.’”
—Ray Perry, from the book
