American hero Holleran widens war record despite amputations
Owen Cobb Holleran of Atlanta lost both feet in Serbia but joined the British air service, rising to captain and flight commander. After enlisting in London and fighting at Gallipoli and Serbia, he was fitted with artificial feet yet became a full fledged flyer. He was captured by the enemy during a daylight bombing mission after leading a flight, and his bravado remained noted by Captain E. G. Lowry of the American embassy.
