Black Cat Rescue by Nicholas Trudgian On February 15, 1944, flying his Navy PBY Catalina on air-sea rescue
duty, Lt. Nathan Gordon received an urgent call. Several 345th BG B25s
were down following a major attack on Kavieng, and crews were in the
water just offshore. Under intense gunfire, Gordon made no fewer than
four perilous water landings to pick up survivors, returning to make an
emergency landing at Cape Gloucester with 25 people aboard, an just 10
gallons of fuel in his tanks. Gordon was awarded the Medal of Honor
Signed by Nathan Gordon.
Flight Out of Hell by Nicholas Trudgian
On February 15, 1944, a force of B-24s, B-25s and A-20s hammered the
heavily defended Japanese base at Kavieng. Several aircraft, however,
were forced to ditch; three downed B-25 crews from 345th Bomb Group
floating helplessly in life-rafts within a thousand yards of the beach,
and the Japanese troops were in no mood to take prisoners. Their only
chance of survival was the air-sea rescue PBY Catalina. Nicolas
Trudgian's dramatic reconstruction depicts Lt. Commander Nathan Gordon's
PBY Catalina making its final take-off, the intense enemy gunfire from
the shore making his mission seemingly impossible. But the young pilot
got all 25 men aboard safely home, and was awarded the Congressional
Medal of Honor for what is one of the bravest actions of the war in the
Pacific Signed by John Brately, William
Cavoli, Nathan Gordon, Robert Lewis.
