]Eniire Bomber Groun
Led by D. {. Officer
Cited for Courage
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
/ UNITED STATES BOMBER
BASE IN ENGLAND. Feb. 2l.-A
whole group Of Flying Fortresses
was cited today for their courage
displayed in pressing home costly
attack against the Messerchmitt
aircraft factories of Brunswick, Ger
many, January II.
Rather than run the risk of fall
ing into a German trap, the big
formations crewmen ignored orders
to turn back and drove on through
savage enemy fighter attacks to ac-
complished their assigned task.
The citation was made by Brig.
Gen. Curtis E. LeMay, Lakewood,
Ohio, Fortress division commander,
to heavy bombardment group
serving under Col. Frederick w.
Castle of washington, D. c.
i On this mission, COL Castles
group, led by 1t. Col. Lewis G..
Thorup, Salt Lake City, was lead
ing whole combat wing. FLAX and
hostile fighters damaged all but one
Of Col. Thorup's planes.
On the initial approach to the
target the main objective was not
clearly identified so the group cour-
ageously executed a 360-degree turn
through waves Of rocket-f1ring
fighters to make a second run on
the target.
This time they poured many tons
of bombs into the target area, rs
per cent of the bombs striking with
IN 1000 feet Of the aiming point.
Without fighter escort most of
the time, outnumbered three to one
by Nazi fighters and bucking a 90
mile-an-hour headwind, the group
fought its way back home with the
loss of seven aircraft and was cred
tied with knocking down eight
enemy fighters.
The landing fields virtually were
blacked out by fog when the planes
reached home shortly before night
fall.
The honor means that all men
involved will be permitted to wear
the coveted Unit Citation Award
the only such decoration in the
Army which is worn over the right
breast pocket.
Col. Castle was a member of the
original American group which
landed in England in February,
1912, to map plans for American
air bases and installations. Since
then he has received the Distin-
guished Flying Cross, the Silver Star
and the Air Medal with an Oak Leaf
Cluster, for his exploits in the
bombings of German territory.
He is the son Of Col. Benjamin
F. Castle, U. S. A., retired, and Mrs.
Winifred Walker Castle of this city.
A West Point graduate, Col. Castle,
