Max rate descent

As a hairy armed crewchief and not knowing about these things,we arrived above Oha-u at about 40000 ft due to a curtain of cu-nimbs surrounding the islands.
I was perched on the ladder between the seats -as one did ,-when the boss elected to do one.
The amazing thing was that I was totally unaware of any change of attitude until ,looking straight ahead you could see the island in plan view.
We must have been near vertical...so I thought I'd better get strapped in.
I often wonder about the captain -think it was F B -bound to go far and a diamond geezer.
