Major
Baker's PBJ-1C (BuNo 35047) following his successful water landing near
Key West, Florida. The landing occurred on February 29, 1944 after
his aircraft developed a runaway propeller and he was unable to jettison
a 2,000 pound dummy torpedo. Although both of Major Baker's legs
were broken in the landing, the other two crew members sustained only
minor injuries.
