Distinguished Flying Cross and
the Air Medal to 2nd Lt. Rob
ert D. Olson, former Medford
high and Oregon State college
football star who was killed in

v"In North Africa on Decem
ber 4, 1942, during a high alti
tude bombing mission,- Lt.- Ol
son, co-pilot on a B-17, encoun

while flying over and while
leaving the target. Enemy air
craft was also encountered. Dur
ing the course of action, several
of the guns on the bomber be
came inoperative and three of
the motors were disabled.
"Despite all these difficulties.
Lt. Olson aided in the accom
plishment of the mission, and
by his flying skill and Judgment
was able to assist in the return
and landing of the airplane at a
n friendly airport. Although the
plane was landed in a very
small field, the injured members
of the crew suffered no ill ef
fects from the landing.
Lt. Olson found himself In
a very precarious position but he
met the situation with the great
est amount of courage and ex
erted all the skill and ability
that he had at his command. His
actions were with the coolness
of a veteran, and this resource
fulness, skill and ability dis
played by Lt. Olson undoubtedly
helped save the lives of his crew
as well as saving his plane from
complete destruction.
This extraordinary achieve
ment while narticipating in
aerial flight reflects great credit
upon himself and the military
service of the United States."
By command of Lieut. Gen.
arl Spaatz, the order for the
award of the Air Medal, post
humously, read as follows:
"The Air Medal is posthumous
ly awarded to the following
named personnel in the name of

against the enemy: Robert D.
Olson, second lieutenant, air
corps, United States army."
Lt. Olson, who was graduated
from Oregon State college in

team Mn his senior year, is
buried in an American cemetery
outside Oran, his mother said.
