On January 11, 1944, a single American Mustang pilot saw his squadron vanish and the Luftwaffe closing in on a formation of B-17 bombers.

He did the only thing he could. He attacked. Alone. For thirty minutes.

This is the story of James Howell Howard, the day he earned the Medal of Honor, and the fighter that changed the air war over Europe.

00:00 The recall order

11:40 The Mustang arrives

23:20 One man against thirty

34:10 The bomber crews who watched him

47:50 The silence of a man who just did his job

If your father or grandfather flew Mustangs with the 354th Fighter Group or served in the Eighth Air Force, please leave his name, group, or memory in the comments. This channel remembers them all.
