Black Cat Rescue

On February 15, 1944, flying his Navy Patrol Squadron 34 PBY Catalina on air-sea rescue duty south of New Ireland, Lt. Nathan Gordon received an urgent call. Several 345th BG B25s were down following a major attack on Kavieng, and crews were in the water just offshore. Under intense gunfire from the shore, Gordon made no fewer than four perilous water landings to pick up survivors, returning to make an emergency landing at Cape Gloucester with 25 people aboard and just 10 gallons of fuel in his tanks.

Gordon was awarded the Medal of Honor.
