Hall of Heroes
Publications
"All stories in
this book are true. The textual matter has been prepared by Arthur S. Curtis,
formerly Professor with the Rank of Instructor, Department of English, History
and Government, United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland in cooperation
with the various offices of the Department of Defense. All drawings are based
upon photographic and other research of terrain, equipment, and personnel
including enemy.
"The stories in
this book were first put together, over a period of years, for use by great
daily newspapers. Some newspapers ran them in color, where the true life heroes
whose stories you read here shared the Sunday color sections with illustrious
fictional heroes. Other newspapers ran them at times in one color, now in one
part of the paper and now in another. The stories appeared under the name MEDAL
OF HONOR.
"This book on
air force heroes contains all--yes, all--of the Medal of Honor heroes of the
Army Air Corps in World War II. For those who do not remember, the Air Force
began as the Army Air Corps, and then became a separate department of its own
after WWII."
