On August 19, 1944 Lt. Thomas E. Maloney’s P-38 328746 #23 lost power to both engines and forced him to make a water landing. He managed to get in his life raft and made it ashore where he triggered a landmine, severally maiming him. For ten days he crawled through woods before returning to his raft and was eventually rescued and miraculously survived. While the 27th flew the P-38, #23 would be named Maloney’s Pony. This tradition ended when they retired the P-38 Lightning but was resurrected with the acquisition of the F-15 Eagle.
