Good evening to all
What to know is there any grain of truth or myth that Lt. George C Welch of the 47th PS, 15th PG who claim four kills over Hawaii on December 7, 1941 was denied the Medal of honor ,because , he took off without order ? (sounds kind a funny). Comments and observations welcomed Santiago

Re: Lt. George Welch and MOH
Announcement of DSCs for Welch and Taylor (and includes mention of Wagner): https://www.newspapers.com/clip/1007...lu-advertiser/
Also the DSC announcement for Boyd Wagner on same day: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/1007...sun-telegraph/ (I don't know if Wagner's DSC had any connection to what was decided for Welch and Taylor. The circumstances seem similar.) A two-part article about the MOH question for Welch: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/1007...-news-journal/ https://www.newspapers.com/clip/1007...-news-journal/ Last edited by RSwank; 1st May 2022 at 00:14.
