Congressional Medal!
Given PosthumousIy
To Flying Heroes

Congressional Medals of Honor
have been awarded posthumously
to an AAF pilot and a radio op-
orator, each of whom sacrificed his
life to save comrades, the War De-
partment revealed today.
The airman, Maj. Horace S. Cars
well, jr.. of Fort Worth, Tex, crash
landed his B-24 bomber in hillside
on the China coast after all but one
crew member bailed out of the Grip
pied plane. 1t was after a bombing
mission in the South China Sea,
when he attacked Jap convoy of
IL ships escorted by two destroyers.
Maj. Carswel was deputy COM
mander of the 308th Bombardment
Group. In second bombing run
over convoy he dropped two bombs
directly on a large tanker but his
plane was damaged by fax from the
Jap guns.
BY skillful plotting he forced hi.
plane into a slow rise. Two of his
engines were out when he soarec
over the China coast, and fax hae
ripped the parachute of one of the
crew. Maj. Carswell continued un.
til third engine went out, ther
ordered the crew to bah out. Tht
one crewman without a parachut,
was still aboard, and he attempted
a crash landing, dying when hi
plane smashed into a hillside ans
burned. The War Department re
port did not say what happened t,
the other man, who probably wa
killed also.
The other Medal of Honor man
Pvt. George j. Peters, %, of Grams.
ton, r. l., was member of the 17tf
Airborne Division, who gave his lif,
to destroy the crew of a German
machine gun threatening his bud
dies. His division had leaped neal
Fluren, east of the Rhine, on March
"a, 1945. Pvt. Peters landed with
10 others in a clearing as an enemy
machine gun opened up on them.
The radio man stood up withou
orders and made a one-man charg,
against the Germans. His own com.
rades had been unable to reach
their nearby equipment. Drawing
fire from his group, Pvt. Peters twic,
was knocked down by bullets befor,
he got close enough to heave &
grenade. 1t knocked out the gun
killed two of the crew and the res
fled. But the young radio man wa.
mortally wounded.
