Scanlan機被弾の様子はヒストリーチャンネルで解説を行っている列機であったScamara氏が
一部始終を証言している。上記、Albatys 氏のコラムから。
From a base on Iwo Jima, Jack Scanlan would fly his last mission.
Another pilot in the squadron, Lt. Bob Scamara would witness what happened next.
“It seemed like the whole Jap air force was after Jack and me. I couldn’t even look around and see
if Jack was there I was so busy shooting…We two were certainly alone now, so we flew south,
line abreast so we could watch each others tails. It wasn’t long before we were tapped again by the Zekes.
They were really out to get us…”
“After I rolled out of a turn and could see Jack, it was too late. There were two Japs sneaking up his tail
that he couldn’t see. Meanwhile , I was heading straight for him… yelling into the radio for him to do something.
I figure maybe he was hit before and his radio was out. The Zekes opened up on him and hit him in the wings.
He pulled up a little, his wings burning… He climbed a few hundred feet , rolled over and jumped out.”
The badly wounded flier parachuted safely to the ground but was quickly captured by Japanese soldiers.
