Master Sgt. Henry E. "Red" Erwin from Air Force Link Top Stories
Medal of Honor recipient Henry E. Erwin passed away in January 2002 at age 80. But 57 years earlier, he showed dramatically how willing he was to give up his life to save the crew of his B-29 Superfortress. His heroism resulted not only in saving his crew and earning him the ultimate military honor, but also put his story on the silver screen.
Erwin was born in May 1921 in Adamsville, Ala., near Bessemer. He joined the Enlisted Reserve Corps July 27, 1942, at Birmingham, Ala. and was called to active duty as an aviation cadet Feb. 3, 1943.

P-47 found near Cherbourg? from PPRuNe Forums
There was a thread a couple of weeks ago about P-47D remains found near Cherbourg; the pilot, Kenneth Hindersinn had bailed out.
There was a link to a lengthy article in a New Hampshire (US) newspaper, but unfortunately, all the article said about the wreck site was that "the wreckage was apparently unearthed last month on a farm..." Can't find anything more specific by searching the Web.
Does anybody perchance know what "the wreck" consisted of? Buried? Engine block and little more? Identifiable parts?
Good morning, shoppers. Christmas is right around the corner. It's never too early to look for 'stocking-stuffers'. Here's an idea: Cold War icon Tu-95 "Bear" bomber (above) posted for sale last month on eBay!
The auction unfortunately closed on 23 October, but I have good news: Richard Moore, of russianmilitary.co.uk, which arranged the eBay auction, confirmed to me this morning that the bomber is still for sale. The listed eBay price of £10 million (US$16.2 million) is still in the right ballpark, Moore says. ...
