Europe Seen Again Headed Toward Old Imperialism
In England on January 20 a World War II report highlights First Lieutenant Frank M McMullen of San Antonio earning his fifth Air Medal after a dangerous mission over Germany. His B 17 Fortress sustained heavy flak and engine damage, but he and a wounded co pilot kept the aircraft airborne for three hours before crash landing near a Royal Air Force base outside Brussels. The piece ties McMullen to a broader record of the 32nd mission and notes his family military background including a father Major General.
