On August 19, 1944 Lieutenant Thomas E. Maloney’s P-38 328746 #23 lost power to both engines and forced him the made a water landing. He managed to get his life raft and made it ashore where he triggered a landmine severally maiming him. For 10 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 but was resurrected with the acquisition of the F-15.
