5-Chapter+11


 * Important Events: **
 * May 27, 1943, the lieutenant required Louie, Phil, and Cuppernell to fly //Green Hornet// and to accompany the //Daisy Mae// to find the plane //Corpening// that had gone down approximately 200 miles from Palmyra
 * The lieutenant directed the planes to a slightly different area to search
 * Phil didn't know the //Green Hornet's// quirks
 * Cuppernell asked Phil if they could switch seats, so Cuppernell than began flying the plane.
 * The first engine failed
 * The engineer hit the wrong button to feather the first engine that had failed, and caused a second engine to die
 * No time to make a distress call
 * The plane hit the water and broke open
 * Louie got tangled up in wires and was unable to get free and was pulled down with the plane.
 * Phil found a way out and clung to wreckage on the surface
 * He passed out, but when he regained consciousness, he found that the wires were no longer around him and he was just floating in the fuselage
 * He started to drown
 * He found a window and was able to free himself from the plane
 * His Mae West (life jacket) wasn't inflated, so when he freed himself he pulled the chords and his life jacket pulled him upwards and allowed him to come to the surface


 * Funny Stories: **
 * Before they left on the Green Hornet, Louie left a note on his footlocker, where he kept his condiment jars full of liquor, with a note on it telling everyone to help themselves if they didn't return in a week.


 * Moments That Help Show Louie's Personality: **
 * Louie woke up before everyone else and asked the sergeant to time his mile alongside him in his jeep, and this showed his personality because he was always trying to run his mile quicker and quicker, and he wanted to make sure he was staying in the best shape that he could.
