represent what we believe to be 80% of the U.S. Army Army Air Force recipients of the
Silver Star in World War II. This list, however, is more an index of
General Orders than an index of recipients. Based largely upon the work
of the late Colonel Albert Gleim, the orders cited below are those G.O.s
referencing awards of the Silver Star that were issued by Army Air Force
Commands. (There are a number of USAAF recipients listed in the
U.S. Army Awards index that have yet to be identified as airmen and
parsed out.) While MOST are orders authorizing
the award, and in those cases wherein a name is identified more than
once it usually indicates an additional award, in some cases the G.O.
cited may be a correction to an earlier award. Only by obtaining the
original G.O. can you determine what action it represents.
