SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. -- Maj. William Cassida, Defense Attache from the U.S. Embassy in France, speaks before presenting the watch of fallen bomber pilot Capt. Donald Cole to his son, Donald Cole Walters, at the Asheville, N.C. National Guard Armory Dec 28. Capt. Cole stayed at the controls of his wounded B-17 that caught ablaze after being hit by German antiaircraft fire so that his nine fellow crewmembers could parachute to safety. He then steered the plane away from the French village of Nieul-les-Saintes, crashing it half a mile away Jan. 5, 1944. (U.S. Air Force photo/A1C Kathrine McDowell)
