「分隊士！みてください。綺麗ですよ！」
『炎の翼～ラバウル中攻隊死闘の記録～』関根精次・著を読みました。この本で面白かったのが、著者が初めて不時着を経験した時のエピソードです。ものすごい衝撃とともに機体は不時着！他の仲間はさっさと脱出したのですが著者だけが体をはさまれて脱出できなくなり、機内に取り残されてしまいます。機体はいつ爆発するかわからない！あわてた著者は思わず「おーい！助けてくれ」と叫ぶ。しかし彼は「助けてとは軍人が言う言葉じゃないな・・・さっきの聞こえてないといいな・・」と思い、そこで「お～い、ここから出してくれ」といいなおしたそうです。しかし不運？にも先の「助けてくれ」は仲間たちにばっちり聞こえており、以後彼は「助けてくれの関根」という痛いあだ名を頂戴したそうな・・・。助けてくれって言っちゃいけないんですねｗこれは読んでいて笑いましたｗ

I read "'Wings in Flames; Desperate Struggle by Rabaul Chuukou Air Corps'":http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4769820569 by Sekine Seiji.
A particularly interesting part of this book is the story of the time the author experienced his first emergency landing.
The airplane made the emergency landing with a bone-shaking impact! His comrades made a quick escape. Only the author wasn't able to leave as his body had become stuck and he was left inside the aircraft. Who knew when the airplane could explode! The author was getting nervous, and without thinking about it started shouting, "Help! Save me!" However, he thought, "'Save me' isn't a phrase that a military man should say... I hope they didn't hear that..." After that, he changed to shouting, "Heeeey, get me out of here!" However, by bad luck (?), his comrades heard his shouts of, "Help me!" perfectly clearly and after that he was given the painful nickname, "Save me Sekine."
You really can't say, "Save me" I guess. lol It really made me laugh reading that. Ha ha!
