Greatest U S Aviation Hero CAPTAIN ERWIN Named by Wallas
In Texas a Dallas man, Captain William P. Erwin, is hailed as America's greatest aviation hero by former Army Air Chief Wallas and Colonel William B. Mitchell. War records show Erwin flew seven planes, was shot down six times, and brought back crucial intelligence while downing eleven German planes. He credits his aviation start to looking sissy for infantry and notes his wartime piano hobby. His father resides in Chicago.
