Bryant recalled a mission to the Celebes islands as his "closest call." "We had a couple of Japs cornered," he said, "when one of them broke away and passed under my plane, shooting as he went. The Jap managed to get away and as I started for home, I noticed that my left engine was smoking. "Bacause I was running low on fuel, I decided I couldn't make it back home so I headed out over the Pacific looking for a Navy flying boat. I knew that if I could bail-out or crash-land on the water near a Navy plane I would be picked up. "Surprisingly to me, the fuel did hold out and I got back to my base safely. But, it was one time that I was really worried about whether I would make it back from a mission." Lieut.
