re: #294 The Shadow Do

Yes, distinguished flying cross, silver star, bronze x 2, purple heart, etc.

I never heard the stories except piecemeal growing up and listening to conversations with old bomb wing members when reunited (my dad was career air force - worked his way up from enlisted in 1939 to full Colonel in SAC at retirement). I have his military records but they are pretty bare bones in detail regarding the actions: mission, date, a few generalized words. I know the silver star was for traversing an open bomb bay to manually let down shot up landing gear that saved the plane and probably crew - and definitely himself as he was in the wheel well on touch down.


Impressive!
