General Anderson Decorates Captain Skubała
Since the accident, captain Skubała has spent the last three months at a Polish military hospital in Edinburgh, where he had already undergone three operations on his injured arm. He is scheduled to have the fourth one. Meanwhile, in recognition of what the official citation calls the "heroism reflecting the highest credit upon his valiant devotion to duty," General Samuel E. Anderson, Commanding IX. Bomber Command, 9th Air Force, flew especially to Scotland to decorate Skubała with the Soldier's Medal.
