16 American Airmen Decorated in Cairo For Heroism in Crash
Group Honored for Rescue Of Trapped Victims in
Burning Building ■s th« Associated Presa.
CAIRO, Sept. 14.—Sixteen men of
the United States Army Air Forces
in the Near East and two RAF men
were decorated yesterday for ex-
traordinary heroism in rescuing sev-
eral comrades injured and trapped amid flaming gasoline and exploding, ammunition touched off by the crash of a home-coming American bomber.
The bomber struck a building on
the edge of its home airdrome shortly after midnight on August 2 as it was landing from a long- range operational mission. Eight men in the plane and several in the building were seriously injured and unable to escape without help.
Hundreds of gallons of fuel from the bomber’s tanks spread a sheet ef Are over a wide area, trapping the
bomber crew and those in the
building. The heat started firing tracer, in-
cendiary and ball ammunition car-
ried by the bomber. Those deco- rated yesterday carried the trapped men to safety in repeated dashes through the flames.
