KELLY

Colin Kelly's 19th Bomb Group B-17C is outnumbered by Japanese
Zero's as it returns to Clark Field in the Philippines, December
10, 1941. After completing a successful bombing attack on
the Japanese heavy cruiser Ashigara, with his aircraft badly
damaged and on fire, Kelly remained at the controls while
his crew bailed out. Seconds later the crippled B-17 exploded
Colin Kelly became America's first World War II aviation hero,
was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross,
and a legend was born.
