U.S. Air Force
Awards of the Silver Star

	for  Conspicuous Gallantry in Action  During the
Korean War

Prior to the Korean War, airmen were members of the U.S. Army Service (WWI), Army Air Corps (interim between the World Wars), or U.S. Army Air Force (WWII), and as such were awarded the Silver Star by the War Department. With the establishment in 1947 of the U.S. Air Force as a separate branch of military service, the air heroes of the Korean War (exclusive of Army, Navy and Marine Corps aviators) received the Air Force Silver Star.

To date we have identified 152 Air Force Silver Star recipients for gallantry in the Korean War. We believe that there are many more to be yet identified
