He wasn't alone. The RSM (Regimental Sergeant Major - outranks GOD!) was in the back, kicking out the ammo.
Another point about that particular pilot is his aircraft wasn't armed. It was only there because he'd flown in a couple of entertainers who were supposed to be putting on a show that night. Apparently the men on the ground could hear the music during brief breaks in the firefight - at least in the early stages before it became a full blown fight for survival and the show was called off.
