[edit]DescriptionOfficial Army Air Corps portrait of David Jones (1938).jpg |
English: Original 1938 official Army Air Corps portrait of Aviation Cadet Lieutenant David M. Jones at Kelly Field, Texas on Feb. 24, 1938 - the year he earned his pilot wings. After graduation, he flew the Northrop A-17 and then volunteered for the Doolittle Raid. He was the pilot of the fifth B-25 to leave the aircraft carrier USS Hornet, and survived the mission. Later in the war, he was shot down over Germany and was a POW in Stalag Luft III for 2½ years, and participated in the attempted breakout that was depicted in the 1963 movie, The Great Escape. He rose to the rank of Major General in the USAF prior to retirement. |
