The Captain met the test brilliantly, both in his decision to remain in the vicinity of the Coast Guard station vessel and in the way he prepared for and executed the landing at sea. “In paying tribute to Captain Ogg's skill and that of his crew, our personnel throughout the System should also find satisfaction in the knowledge that they contributed to the wealth of experience and technique accumulated by our Company in many years of overocean flying, which Captain Ogg used to such good effect. The personal courage and training of the Captain and his crew were vital not only to the safety of the passengers but to the prestige and reputation of our Company and of U.S.-flag air transportation throughout the world. “All concerned are to be congratulated for a job well done.” And the following resolution was unanimously adopted by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors: “RESOLVED, that we hereby express our admiration of the judgment and skill which Captain Richard Ogg and the members of his crew brilliantly exercised under the extremely trying circumstances surrounding the successful forced landing of their Clipper between Hawaii and the mainland, circumstances unprecedented in the annuls of the Company’s many years of over-ocean operations and which demanded courage of the highest order and cool-headed devotion to duty, a test superbly met by every member of the crew. We extend to all of these our appreciation and out sincere congratulations on a job well done.” In addition, President Trippe and Colonel Young also wrote letters of commendation to each crew member individually.
