Night Above The Clouds Photographed by Elmer G. Dyer, A.S.C. the lower wingtip brushing within four or five feet of the ground — and wondering if my insurance was paid up ! Somehow Mantz — aided I am sure by the other nine of us unconsciously shoving over imaginary “joy-sticks” for all we were worth — got the ship righted. Just then another, and even stronger gust hit us and literally blew that heavy ship a hundred feet into the air like a feather! We heaved ten sighs of relief, even though we all knew that was only the first round, and we weren't on the ground yet. Coming around for another try at getting the ship hack to earth. Mantz was all set for another of those gusts — but this time no gust came, and we hit hard, with a jolt that must have been felt in China! Somehow, Paul managed to hold the “tin goose” on the ground until she stopped rolling, and on checking things over we found the only damage done was to our nerves. For a few minutes, though, I felt certain I had photographed my last scene. But I guess Providence had decided I mustn’t die before I’d shot a few more rolls of Infra-Red in the air! 10
