From the U.S. Naval Institute Facebook page:

After the engine cut out, a Dauntless returning to USS Yorktown began to fly erratically and lose altitude until the pilot was able to restart it. The pilot called to his gunner: "I bet 50 percent of the people down there thought we were going to crash."

The gunner answered: "50 percent of the people up here thought so, too."
