That 's the name of a short story by Frank Harvey, published in the Saturday Evening Post in May 1959. It is one of only two fiction accounts I have read that featured the C-133. The other was a novel by Clive Cussler, in which a C-133 lands at an AF station in Greece and is destroyed on the ground.
Harvey's story is pretty gripping and brings to mind several actual events. If you want to read it, email me at firstfleet@aol.com. I'll figure out how to attach it to my web site, eventually.

Additional Note from Dick Hanson:
In less than two hours, 7 of you responded to my e-mail with Runaway Prop attached, and 3 of those indicated the Clive Cussler novel Cal referred to is "The Mediterranean Caper."
