Description
English: Maj. Charles Joseph Loring Jr., United States Air Force, Korean War Medal of Honor recipient. Went to Europe in 1944 as a fighter pilot with the 36th Fighter Group's 22nd Squadron. Completed 55 combat missions before was shot down and made a prisoner of war. Went to Korea in May 1952 with the 36th and 80th Squadrons, 8th Fighter Bomber Group. During a close air support mission on Nov. 22, 1952, Loring's flight was dive-bombing enemy gun positions. He was hit repeatedly by ground fire during his dive. Instead of withdrawing, Loring aimed his F-80 directly at the gun positions and deliberately crashed into them, destroying them. Loring Air Force Base, Maine, was named in his honor.
