The general had a narrow escape when flying as a bombardier with General Stratemeyer as pilot in a B-10 aircraft. Coming back from a bombing mission over Muroc, the aircraft engines failed and it was necessary to ditch in San Pablo Bay at night. General Lynn was caught in the nose, standing neck-deep in the water, and it took better than three dives into the debris to get back through the passageway and out of the aircraft.
