After a number of hours the pilot noticed that they were not going to have enough fuel to make it back to the final base because of all of the bullet holes in the fuel tank were leaking too much fuel and the consumption would be too much. One of the members of the surrender delegation was an Olympic swimmer so he was given the documents in case they had to ditch the aircraft out to sea. |
