OK, here's my entry:
There's a story attached to it as well:
Capt. Grant of the 462nd FS/506th FG got separated from his squadron over the bay of Nagoya, meaning he had to find his own way back to base, on the island of Iwo Jima. This is when his training becomes all important. After some 3 hours flying over open ocean he should be getting close, but his radio isn't working anymore...and he runs into a stack of cumulonimbus, thunderclouds. Was his dead reckoning correct? He's already at his ceiling, 27.000 feet, so does he go through it or around it? Was his dead reckoning correct? Does he still have enough fuel left after 7 hours flying? Hang on, is that an island that he sees? If he is on course, it should be Kita-io-jima, and home just 50 miles beyond that, but if he's blown off course, it may be Japanese-held Chichi-Jima, meaning AAA and at least 200 more miles to go...
