00:00This is Navy Log.
00:20The dramas you see each week on Navy Log are from official U.S. Navy files.
00:25They tell of ships and planes and those who man them.
00:29Recorded through the years in Navy Log.
00:42This is Hawaii, home of Pearl Harbor.
00:48A diamond head.
00:52Coconut trees.
00:55Sharp mountain peaks.
00:58And Hickam Field.
01:00The central Pacific base of the military air transport service.
01:04Where nightly flights for naval personnel and their dependents leave for the mainland.
01:10What the hell? Do you need any help, Flora?
01:21Oh, I'm going to have them with me all the way to San Francisco and back.
01:24I might as well get used to managing myself.
01:26Give me your hand, Jody.
01:27No, no, give me your hand.
01:28Thanks, just the same.
01:2911 minutes, Mr. Hollis.
01:30Is the captain aboard?
01:31No, sir.
01:32I believe he's making a phone call.
01:33Have you seen this?
01:34Not that I know of, sir.
01:3514, 15.
01:36With Mrs. Stoughton.
01:37Later, George.
01:38Later.
01:39Later, George.
01:40Later.
01:41Later.
01:42Yes, sir.
01:43Dave, how's everything?
01:44Okay.
01:45I just had a look at the passenger manifest.
01:46Well?
01:47Hank Bourne is listed.
01:48I believe he's making a phone call.
01:49I believe he's making a phone call.
01:50I believe he's making a phone call.
01:51Have you seen this?
01:52Not that I know of, sir.
01:53Not that I know of, sir.
01:5414, 15.
01:55With Mrs. Stoughton.
01:56Later, George.
01:57I believe he's making a phone call.
02:02Dave, how's everything?
02:03Okay.
02:04I just had a look at the passenger manifest.
02:06Well?
02:07Hank Bourne is listed.
02:09Bourne, huh?
02:11First time we take this flight out, he has to be aboard.
02:14Well, he's going on leave, Dave.
02:16Needs all the relaxation he can get after what happened to him.
02:18Yeah, I know all that, but...
02:20It's a little uncomfortable for you and me.
02:21It'll just have to be a little uncomfortable, that's all.
02:23Now, you don't really think that, will you?
02:25What?
02:26Then I'm worried about you and me.
02:28Now, it's him.
02:30He's a grounded pilot.
02:32This used to be his flight.
02:34How do you think he's going to feel up there?
02:36Being a passenger with us in the cockpit.
02:38I don't know.
02:40Why, what's it going to be like for him?
02:42I don't know, Dave.
02:44I don't know what it's like for a guy after the sky falls in.
02:49It's time we shut off.
02:56All passengers aboard, Jones?
02:57No, sir.
02:58Commander Bourne's a little late.
02:59We take off on schedule.
03:00Yes, sir.
03:01Mr. Hastings.
03:02Sir, you don't want to take off without him, do you?
03:03I don't want to, Jones.
03:04Commander Bourne never believed in holding up a flight for anybody.
03:05Yes, sir.
03:06Yes, sir.
03:07You don't want to take off without him, do you?
03:08I don't want to, Jones.
03:09Commander Bourne never believed in holding up a flight for anybody.
03:11Yes, sir.
03:12Yes, sir.
03:13You don't want to take off without him, do you?
03:15I don't want to, Jones.
03:17Commander Bourne never believed in holding up a flight for anybody.
03:20Yes, sir.
03:42Glad to have you aboard, Commander.
03:43Thank you, Jones.
03:44How's everything?
03:45Oh, no.
03:46It couldn't be better, sir.
03:54If he isn't here on time, I think it'll be his way of saying he'd rather miss the flight.
03:57I see what you mean.
03:59Come on.
04:03Commander Bourne?
04:04Well, how do you do?
04:05My name is Flora Stout.
04:07Flora?
04:08Oh, you're Joe's wife.
04:10Yes.
04:11He's told me so much about you.
04:12I can tell you a lot about him.
04:14He was my favorite radio man.
04:15Made over a hundred flights with him.
04:17Yes, I know.
04:18Married to a pretty swell guy.
04:20Hi there, mister.
04:21This little Joe?
04:22Yes.
04:23And this is Siste.
04:24Hello, Siste.
04:26Nice to meet you.
04:27Commander.
04:28Joe's told me about your eye.
04:31I hope everything works out fine.
04:34Thank you very much.
04:36You gonna meet Joe?
04:37Yes, he's in San Francisco.
04:39You're my best.
04:45It's not taken.
04:46Thanks.
04:47Thought maybe you were saving it for somebody.
04:49Excuse me.
04:54Bourne's the name.
04:56Chris and Henry.
04:58Hank for short.
04:59Mackenzie's mine.
05:02Mackenzie.
05:03Lois Mackenzie.
05:04USO.
05:05Uh...
05:06Uh...
05:07Uh...
05:08Well, this sounds corny, but it's no gag.
05:09I, uh...
05:10I think I've met you before.
05:11Very possibly.
05:12I've been in any number of places.
05:14You were in Korea, were you?
05:15Who says I was?
05:16Who says I was?
05:17Oh, yes, yes.
05:18You were entertaining one night at a base hospital.
05:19I, uh...
05:20Can't remember which one.
05:21It really doesn't make any difference.
05:22I entertained at all of them.
05:23Well, who do you know?
05:24It's a small world.
05:25People are always saying that.
05:26But it is a small world, you know.
05:27A small, wonderful world.
05:28I think I've met you before.
05:29You were in Korea, were you?
05:30Who says I wasn't?
05:31Oh, yes, yes.
05:32You, uh...
05:33You were entertaining one night at a base hospital.
05:34I, uh...
05:35Can't remember which one.
05:36Well, it really doesn't make any difference.
05:37I entertained at all of them.
05:38Well, who do you know?
05:39Space hospital. I, uh, can't remember which one.
05:42Well, it really doesn't make any difference. I entertained at all of them.
05:47Well, who do you know?
05:48It's a small world. People are always saying that.
05:52But it is a small world, you know. A small, wonderful world.
05:56Where anything can happen, anytime. I believe that, don't you?
06:00I used to, before I realized that a man's luck can run out.
06:05That a lot of things can never happen again.
06:09Such as?
06:11Oh, things.
06:13Like what?
06:15Like what?
06:25Like taking off.
06:35I just saw Hank. I wanted to say the right words, but all I could think of was, how are you?
06:52Probably just as well.
06:54Well, he's deep in it.
06:57You know, if a man doesn't adjust to a thing like this, he's got trouble.
07:01Sure, trouble one way or another.
07:05Still, now we may not know it, but most of the time everybody's on pretty thin ice.
07:16You're a very tactful person.
07:19Am I?
07:21You have to mention my eye.
07:23You want to tell me about it?
07:26Yeah, it's a torn retina.
07:28Oh, how did it happen?
07:31From out of nowhere, right out of left field.
07:35I was checking a motor with a mechanic.
07:37Yes.
07:38Well, he was holding an oil stick in one hand, and I turned around suddenly and caught the tip of it right there.
07:45After all the tight spots that I've been in to have it happen like that, goof accident, the whole world comes to an end.
07:55Everybody's very sorry, but I'm grounded.
07:58Well, they can operate on the retina, can't they?
08:01Oh, they already have.
08:02When?
08:03Well, I go back to the hospital in about six weeks, and they'll check it.
08:07Well, how do you know it isn't all right?
08:09The odds are ten to one against me.
08:13Or one to ten for you.
08:17Can't you look at it that way?
08:19Look, Miss Mackenzie, I don't mean to be rude, but there's one type of person I can't stand right at this point,
08:25and that's someone who tries to cheer me up.
08:28Well, I'll be equally as honest.
08:29There's one type of person that I just can't stand either.
08:33Someone who feels sorry for himself.
08:34A cigarette?
08:40Nice.
08:42Match.
09:04Shall I take over?
09:09No, I'm all right.
09:11Well, let me know when.
09:12Right.
09:33I've got it.
09:35Feather number one. Secure the engine.
09:44Number one engine secured, sir.
09:57We're holding altitude, but our airspeed's dropping.
10:01Take over, Dave.
10:02Got it.
10:03Well, this could be trouble.
10:07Radio from pilot.
10:09Notify McClellan that we've lost number one engine.
10:12Send opposition and request that Coast Guard search and rescue be alerted.
10:15Also request location of any ships in the area.
10:19Ships?
10:21Yeah.
10:23Think we'll have to ditch?
10:25I don't know.
10:26But we want all the help we can get just in case.
10:31Navigator from pilot.
10:33Make sure Jones is making ditching preparations.
10:35We've lost one engine, but this plane flies all right on three.
10:38What happened?
10:41I don't know, but I'm going to find out.
10:46Radio from pilot.
10:47How are you doing on that message to McClellan?
10:49No good, sir.
10:50I haven't been able to raise anybody.
10:52We don't seem to be getting through.
10:56Commander Boyd.
11:00There's nothing to worry about.
11:01Our pilot's the best.
11:03He knows what he's doing.
11:04I'm just going to have a look myself anyway.
11:05Pilot from flight engineer.
11:22We've lost all electrical power due to a short in the bus bar.
11:26You can use battery power for a short time only.
11:29To transmit and use your instrument.
11:32Roger.
11:32Well, that's real trouble if the weather's clobbered on the coast.
11:39Watch it, Dave.
11:40Number three's acting up.
11:42If it goes, we're really in trouble.
11:45You've got to raise somebody on the radio.
11:48Sorry to stick my nose in, but maybe I can help.
11:51Why don't you try UHF Channel 5?
11:53Call Continental Air Defense radar site on San Clemente Island.
11:57That's a real hot circuit.
11:59Shift your frequency.
12:00You'll raise them, boys.
12:02Happy landings, gentlemen.

13:12Commander.
13:13I'm terribly frightened.
13:16I can't help it.
13:17Afraid of the children's sense that they'll get hysterical.
13:20There'll be a scene that won't be good for any of us on board.
13:24Hank.
13:27Get the children over here to me.

22:36Oh, she's a great girl.
22:39She's great, all right.
22:41You should have seen her in the cabin.
22:42Saying to those two kids, calmed everybody down.
22:45I didn't know they made women like that anymore.
22:48She's quite a gal, Miss McKenzie.
22:50She always has been.
22:51She's been even better since she had a trouble.
22:53Trouble?
22:54She didn't tell you?
22:55No.
22:56A plane crashed after the Korean campaign.
22:59Her left leg.
23:15Well, we made it, didn't we?
23:19Yes.
23:20Chances were a million to one against us.
23:22And one in a million for us.
23:24We made it, didn't we?
23:25We made it, didn't we?
23:26We made it, didn't we?
