W McSwiggan Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Yes however I have very little information to share - just basic foundation stuff. If you are offering to post beyond that rest assured that I will be reading. Hello to all, is there anybody who is interested in the history of the Air Force Cross and his recipients ?

Ingo Posted April 10, 2010 Author Share Posted April 10, 2010 Sorry for my only few words at the beginning of this topic. I´m very interested in the Air Force Cross and his recipients. I collect all dates which I can find. A lot of dates are missing. And perhaps another one can help me. For exemplare I´m on the search for some dates of birth: Charles L. Brown, all I know is the year 1922 Russell M. Hunt, all I know is the year 1946 William C. Norris, all I know is the year 1926 Thomas Henry Kirk Jr., all I know is the year 1928 Dennis M. Richardson Rowland W. Purser Jon D. Harston, July 1948 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFloyd Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 My files do not contain birth dates. I have no record of a Charles Brown receiving the Air Force Cross. Who was he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingo Posted April 11, 2010 Author Share Posted April 11, 2010 I think the Air Force Cross was awarded to him last year. So now there are three recipients for action in World War 2.

Tim B Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Older thread but thought I would add an update in case Ingo was still looking. Plus, a shameless plug for Jeff here! The only comprehensive book on the recipients of the Air Force Cross. Covers all 188 recipients of this prestigious gallantry award. Never before published photographs of many recipients, appendices on origin and design of the decoration and statistics of awards. Foreword by Col. Conran, Air Force Cross recipient and National Adjutant of the Legion of Valor. 175 pages, softbound. By Frederic L. Borch & Jeffrey B. Floyd Only $14.95; can't go wrong!

Tim B Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I never realized just how large this decoration actually is. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
