which he was wounded.
The flyer whose heroism received
this extraordinary recognition, an

Ensign Albert K Earnest. 25, son of
Mrs. Jessie Kyle Earnest of Rich

Cross and Silver Star. the latter
in this case being the equivalent of
a second Navy Cross.
Ensign Earnest received the first
decoration for pressing home an
attack on an enemy aircraft carrier

enemy fighters and anti-aircraft
batteries"
The Silver Star was awarded with
citation which described Ensign
Earnest's tremendous handicaps in
getting his plane back to the air
