Here's his report on one of the unexpected battles which NATO forces fought and overcame.) Without warning, fog an ancient and realistic enemy of seafarers closed down on blue's Fast Carrier Task Forte Wed nesday afternoon, catching 42 Of its planes in the air with the nearest landing field 450 miles north on the southernmost tip of Greenland; beyond the fuel capacity of the aircraft. Only the co-ordinated efforts of the ships and their aviators, plus a last minute miracle of nature, enabled every plane to land safely on carrier decks in stead of ditching at sea for which orders had been issued. When the last planes landed on the carriers at 1830, they were ten minutes beyond the moment when their fuel tanks were due to be empty. The critical situation was caused when heavy layers of fog blew in from the southwest. The nearest landing field and, it was unmanned was Bluiewest Number One in Greenland. The planes from the U.S. car riers Bennington and Wasp and the Canadian carrier Magnifi cent had taken off under favor DEEMS THOSE WERE THE DAYS WWSVWV THOSE WERE THE DAYS- Hclc-trd t Snith Senric Denrc-- N.

Ten managed to land be fore the fog settled to a ceiling of 100 to 200 feet. Repeatedly attempts were made to coach the planes to the carrier decks by radar. But the pilots could not get low enough to see the decks. Repeatedly thousands of anxious ears on the ships could hear the un seen pilots gun up from the sea through a solid wall of fog. Rear Admiral Hugh H. Good win, tactical commander of the carrier task force, ordered the normal formation broken up. The Battleship Iowa and accom panying cruisers all dropped well astern of the carriers to eliminate the hazard of masts and high structures for the aviators. Then the three car riers were positioned parallel to one another. Again the pilots fought to find their decks. Again, it was impossible. At 1620 planes in the air had an estimated fuel time of exactly two hours re maining. Reports from planes above the formation and from avail able outlying ships and esti mates of fleet aerologists gave no hope of reaching any open area with the carriers before every plane would be out of fuel. Then came a message irom the Blue Force submarine Red fin 110 miles to the west. Ceil ing in its immediate vicinity was 1000 feet with two-mile visi bility. Though the carriers could not reach the spot in time, the planes could just make it before dark. After consultation between WHV WE NOT AS MUCH AS FRoGSHERE- nnM'T tup pcrr op TH 1 THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL Thursday, October 22, 1953 Section C PAGE FIVE Admiral Combs and RADM Goodwin, the decision was made for the planes to head for the Redfin and ditch. Then, just as darkness ap proached, the fog in the ships' course began to thin, and the ceiling to lift perceptibly. Ships which had been blotted out from one another took shape through the fog. Once again the planes were turned back toward their car riers. One by one they shot down through the white blan ket to whichever carrier deck was convenient and ready to take them. At 1820, with night at hand, ten planes were still in the air though their estimated fuel time was gone. Lights blaz ed on all ships, the first time since leaving port. At 1828 came the word "last plane recovered". Personnel on every ship were as thankful as the aviators that an isolated patch of warm water enroute to the Redfin had opened the fog at exactly the critical min ; now with PAGE GAGE tokssthe guesswork out of page-end typing! : Smith'Corona World's first PORTABLE : World's fastest PORTABLE : SCHREINER IF VOU'RE ALL IN THE f Xmrnf mvi'the.
