Ibid. The
citation read: "On September 5, 1943, General MacArthur in a B-17
bomber called the Talisman, personally led the American
paratroopers on the very successful and important jump against the
Nadzab airstrip. General MacArthur flew through enemy infested
airlanes and skillfully directed this historic operation which was
accomplished with the greatest success and made possible the later
landing of Australian airborne troops and the closing of the
western inland approaches of the Markham Valley. He remained over
the combat area until all paratroops had landed in initial contact
with the enemy in this battle."
[138] Kenney,
The MacArthur I Know, pp. 108-109. In September 1942, just
after General Kenney arrived in Australia, he flew with General
MacArthur from Brisbane to Port Moresby. On the trip, one of the
engines on the B-17 went out while General MacArthur was
sleeping. General Kenney woke General MacArthur up to inform him
of the problem. He said, "I just want to tell you that this is a
good airplane. In fact, it flies almost as well on three engines
as it does on four." General MacArthur responded, "I like to
listen to you enthusiastic aviators, even when you exaggerate a
little." General Kenney responded, "All right, we've been flying
on three engines for the last twenty minutes and you didn't know
it. In fact, you didn't even wake up." General MacArthur looked
out the window, listened carefully for a while, grinned and said,
"Nice comfortable feeling, isn't it?" pp. 103-104.
