C-47 and an LC-126 set out in
search for the missing airman and
found him two and a half hours
later when they sighted flares.
The helic(Jpter, manned by Capt.
Louis Button and 1st Lt. Frank A.
Alden, was guided in the landing
by only a hand-held light. It was
believed here to be the first night
time emergency landing ever at
tempted in Alaska.
Officials said it was doubtful if
Berry could have survived a
night’s exposure in his condition.
“Brace up, old pal, and assert
your rights! What are you any
way, a man or a mouse?”
“A man, I guess. My wife’s
afraid of a mouse.”
