Re: Military Career of Joseph Landon
It's puzzling. I found that he entered military service in April 1944 and was released in November 1945. However, when I did a trawl of the Air Awards Listing in the National Archives, looking under Landon, I could find no mention of any Joseph Landon who was awarded any Air Medals. I can think of two possibilities (1) He was not Air crew but served with a 15th B-24 unit or (2) He changed his last name at some point. I've always liked the novel, thinking it was one of the better 15th AF novels.
