Exerpt from "Bill's Hollywood Style War"...
"...We took an '88 in our No. 3 engine. You can believe that.I don't know how long [the '88 shell was]. It took a whole damn engine out and just dropped it.
Now if I was in a '17 I would be able to get down without too much trouble. But the '24 just winged over like that [wingover maneuver with his hand].
I was in the top turret and the gravity up against my behind with the seat -- I just couldn't get out.
The pilot and co-pilot and the radio operator were on the front trying to pull it out -- which was impossible. Somehow they got it just far enough that I could my seat and I got out. Between the four of us, we pulled that '24 out. Physically. Physically, we pulled it out..."
