MB Phone 4114 THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, PAGE FOUR Aviation Hi-Lites SAC HDJ As radio operator on a B-2D leading a group .for mation to attack Koriyama, Japan, S3gt Henry E. Erwln was charged with the additional duty of dropping phosphorous smoke bombs to aid in assembl ing the group at the launching point. One of the phosphorous bombs proved faulty and exploded in the launching chute. It shot back Into the Interior of the aircraft, striking Sergeant Erwln in the face. The burning phosphorous obliterated his nose and blinded him. Smoke filled the bomber, obscuring the vision of the pilot. Sergeant Erwln realized that the aircraft and crew would be lost if the burning bomb remain ed In the plane. He picked it up and, feeling his way instinctive ly, crawled around the gun tur ret and headed for the copilot's window. The navigator's table obstruct ed his passage, and he grasped the burning bomb between his forearm and body, unleashed the spring lock and raised the table. Struggling through the narrow passage, he stumbled forward into the smoke-filled pilot's com partment. Groping with his burning hands, he located the window and threw the bomb out. Com pletely aflame, he fell to the floor. The smoke cleared, and the pilot, at 300 feet, pulled the plane out of its dive. Sergeant Erwin was awarded the Medal of Honor the only enlisted Air Force man to win the top medal in the Pacific phase of World War II.

M F F" S ASS ttW r o PlctisiYiouth SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL Monday, December 5, 1 9(10 Civil Defense Day Dec. 7 Wednesday, Dec' 7, has been designated as National Civil !, feme Day, by Civil Defense Mo bilization Director Leo A. Hoegh. Kcyncting its theme. "Peace Throurh Preparedness," Direc tor Iloegh urged home-owners to build fallout shelters. "Fallout shelter protection for every American in his home, on his farm, in his of fice, in his plant is the best single defense measure for the greatest number ot our peo ple," he declared. Director Hoegh points o u t that thousands of American home-owners are building their fallout shelters, but others hesi tate to do so, for one rreasou or another. "It is those citizens that this Civil Defense Day message is aimed." Director . Hoegh said. "Civil Delense Day is tied in with the observance of Tearl Harbor in 1941 should spur all Americans to be prepared with home shelters. The price of peace, it has been said, is eter nal vigilance." The construction of fallout shelters to ensure the survival of millions of Americans if nu clear attack comes, is reduced to practicable steps in OCDM s 32-page illustrated booklet, "Family Fallout Shelter." The booklet describes plans for sim ple, inexpensive shelters, and details the emergency food, wa ter, and other essential supplies for two weeks which should be stored in every home. A battery radio is an essential item lor survival because civilians would need it to listen for Civil De fense emergency instructions via CONEI.RAD at 640 or 1210 on the dial. The booklet can be obtained frree from State or local civil defense offices, or by writing to Box Home Shelter, OCDM, Battie Creek, Mich.
