Anaheim Woman Thrilled To Receive Photograph of Hero Husband In Italy TWELFTH ARMY AIR FORCES, March 24, (Delayed)—With 18 years of army service behind him and having held every enlisted grade from private through master sergeant, Wendell C. Horne of Anaheim, Calif., recently received a direct commission as a 2nd lieutenant in the Air Forces according to an announcement made at 12th AAF headquarters in Italy. Lt. Horne enlisted in the regular army Feb. 15, 1926 and served three years in China with the infantry. He then returned to the United States and re-enlisted in the air corps where he has been serving ever since. He was graduated from bombardiering school and when the U.S. entered the war in 1941 he was assigned to the only tactical group then using B-25 Mitchell bombers. It was from his group that the men were selected for Major General Doo-little's famed Tokyo raid and Lt. Horne was aboard the Hornet as a spare bombardier when the raiders took off. "My only chance of going on the raid was to have one of the other bombardiers get sick," Lt. Horne said, "but they were all too healthy." He trained mechanics in his squadron to keep the bombers flying in the worst of field conditions and when his squadron began combat operations in Tunisia in March, 1943, this training paid off. Throughout the Tunisian, Sicilian and Italian campaigns he established an outstanding record of maintenance in his squadron. For his invaluable contribution he was awarded the Legion of Merit, one of the highest honors which can be bestowed in ground personnel of the Air Forces. The medal was presented to Lt. Horne by General Arnold in person when he conducted an inspection of Air Corps units in Italy in December, 1943. For meritorious achievement while participating in seven combat missions in this theater, Lt. Horne has been awarded the Air Medal. His duties never required that he take part in combat missions but he could not resist the urge to go along occasionally. He was bombardier in one of the lead ships of the Mitchell formation which gave Rome its first bombing July 19, 1943.

He was bombardier in one of the lead ships of the Mitchell formation which gave Rome its first bombing July 19, 1943. "Rome looked beautiful from the air," he said in recalling the raid. "The buildings all look so white and the countryside so peaceful. Our target was an air-drome in the outskirts of the city and all the bombs hit in the target area." Lt. Horne is married and his wife and son reside at 731 North Philadelphia St., Anaheim, Calif. Mrs. Horne was interviewed at her home by a representative of the Anaheim Gazette and presented with an official photograph of her husband taking the oath which made him a 2nd lieutenant in the Army Air service. The picture was taken in the shadow of an Italian mountain, showing Lieut. Horne standing at salute as the oath was read by Squadron Adjutant 1st. Lt. Lee F. Hutchinson of Benair, Calif., in the presence of Major Raymond O. Sampson, squadron commander of White Cloud, Mich.; Col. Charles T. Olmsted, group commander, of Brownsville, Texas, and Major Myron Gale, of Memphis, Tenn. The news of his promotion and the receipt of the official army photograph was a thrill to Mrs. Horne who last saw her hero husband at Columbia, S. C., in November, 1942. She is a native of Lompock, Calif., and is making her home here to be near other relatives. Lieut. Horne is a native of Kentucky and was living in Colorado when he joined the army in 1926.
