I added some detail to this entry. Because of the way the citations were awarded, some books about the low level raid did not make the connection that Jerstad and Baker were in the cockpit of the same aircraft. Eyewitnesses could not tell which was in control of the badly burning plane, and either or both may have been, so they were both awarded the MoH. I edited the opening para. in order to link Tidal Wave to the entry already in Wiki. The use of "Air Corps" is common but an error for World War II articles. The Army Air Corps was re-named the Army Air Forces on 21 June, 1941, when the Air Force became an autonomous part of the Army along with the Army Ground Forces and Army Services of Supply (later Army Service Forces). The Air Corps existed as a component of the USAAF for a short while but was discontinued in the reorganization of 9 March 1942. Buckboard 21:44, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
