When we were about 400 miles at sea we hit into a typhoon and learned that we were heading directly into two more before we could get to the Philippines. Rather than take any chances after bucking the storm for an hour, the pilot turned around and raced back here. … I continually pinch myself to realize what a set of circumstances combined to pick me out of thousands of newspapermen to make such a flight as this over 12,000 miles of ocean…It was all a marvelous experience and I am glad that I was one of eight newspapermen in the United States to be selected for this first flight to the Philippines" .
