From the May 2014 Smithsonian Air & Space Magazine page 52. A photo recon P-38 pilot (Charles Huebsch) recalling a mission where he decided to linger longer than fuel allowed so as to get valuable photos.
"'Nobody even fired a shot.' he says. After the final shutter click, he flew as far as his fuel would take him, found an island with a hard coral beach---'about the length of the flight deck on the Midway' --- and landed wheels down instead of bellying in"
Sounds familiar.
