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 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.
