Joe M. Jackson : ウィキペディア英語版 | Joe M. Jackson
Joe Madison Jackson (born March 14, 1923) served as a career officer in the United States Air Force and received the Medal of Honor during the Vietnam War for a dangerous impromptu rescue operation of three American military personnel. ==Service in World War II== Jackson, born on March 14, 1923, in Newnan, Georgia, was an avid model aircraft enthusiast in his youth. He enlisted in the Army Air Corps in March 1941,〔(WWII Army Enlistment Records )〕 a few days after his 18th birthday, in hopes of learning more about aeronautics. Nine months later, the United States entered World War II and Jackson was assigned to serve as crew chief aboard a B-25 Mitchell bomber. As a testament to his early flight aptitude, he helped save his fellow crewman by assisting his aircraft's pilot during an engine fire. Soon after, Jackson successfully completed Aviation Cadet Training and became a commissioned officer. He flew a variety of aircraft throughout the war, and ended the war at the controls of a B-24 Liberator bomber aircraft.
