While leading a bombing and strafing the Dagua airfield, New Guinea, Cheli's aircraft was hit several miles from the target, his plane catching fire.
Realizing that if he left
formation and climbed to safe parachuting his whole squadron would be
disorganized, he continued his attack, later ditching into the sea.
