Captain Brennan Leaves Jet Flight to _
Silence Battery, Returns to Lead Attack
"For displaying outstanding
leadership, skill, and courage on
a combat mission over Korea,”
Capt. Herbert O. Brennan, son of
Mrs. F. M. Brennan, of O’Neill,
and the late Colonel Brennan,
has been awarded the distin
I guished flying cross. The pre
sentation was made by Brig.-Gen.
James Ferguson, Fifth air force
vice-comimander at an advance
jet airstrip just south of the 38th
parallel in Korea. Captain Bren
nan was also presented with the
second oak leaf cluster to the air
medal at the same ceremony.
The mission for which Captain
Brennan was awarded the DFC,
was a strike against an enemy
command post and artillery posi
tions that were harassing and
holding up the advance of United
Njfuons troops. Excerpts from his
citation read:
"Due to adverse weather condi
tions, Captain Brennan was
forced to rely on dead reckoning
navigation and to make an in
strumental letdown into the tar
get area with his flight of 4 Fifth
air force F-80’s.
“Visual contact was made with
the target and the flight began
receiving antiaircraft fire from a
battery near the command post.
“Captain Brennan made a sin
gle-ship strafing run over this
battery and silenced it himself
before exposing his flight to the
attack on the primary target.
“He then led his flight on a
low-level strafing and napalm at
tack and succeeded in destroying
the command post and 2 artil
lery emplacements nearby.”
Captain Brennan graduated
from St. Mary’s academy in 1944,
and went to the United States
Military academy at West Point,
N.Y. He graduated from West
Point and received his commis
sion in the air force in June. 1947.
No novice to foreign service,
Brennan flew with the 55th fight
er-bomber squadron in Puerto
Rico during February and March,
1950. He was sent to England
with the 55th to serve from July
to December of that year. He was
1951, and arrived in Korea in
sent to the Far East in March,
June.
A veteran of more than 100
combat missions in the F-80
Shooting Star jet, Captain Bren
nan is a member of the wing’s
“Black Panther,” squadron. The
8th fighter-bomber wing is the
pioneer jet unit of the Korean
war and has flown more than 26,
000 effective combat sorties and
has dropped more than 3 V4 -mil
million gallons napalm upon the
forces of communism in close tac
tical support of United Nations
troops.
Earlier another O’Neillite, Lieu
tenant John Lee Baker, son of
Mrs. H. J. Lohaus, flew more than
a hundred jet missions against
the enemy. Baker is now sta
