DOWNED PILOT
By: Gunner's Mate

"I need to get outta sight for a while".

"Up, up and away".

An hour or so later while waiting for nightfall, Lt.Kelly hears something below.

"Those don't look like Japs, hey! Up here!"

"Hey mate, we saw you come in. Figured you could use a little help."

Back at the Coast Watchers Camp, introductions are made. "I'm Sgt. O'Rouke, Special Air Service, that's Cpl. Jones. We've been keeping tabs on enemy movements in this sector since Singapore fell." "Well, I'm Lt. Jim Kelly, US Navy, and I have got to find a way back to the fleet. I'm carrying important intel on troop strengths on new Britain, and supply estimates on Rabaul."
