Thunderbolt pilot in Alaska
1st Lt. Allan Guest, Eskimo Thunderbolt pilot from Seward, Alaska, brought his flaming Thunderbolt back when it caught on fire over the landings. The Eskimo fighter-bomber pilot was imprisoned for 15 minutes in the cockpit of his plane after it ground looped. During training days, he was trapped in his crashed plane for more than one hour.
