Wallace “Wally” King- Bio
1st Lt.--9th Air Force Division, U.S. Army Air Corps
Wally King was born in Courtland, Ohio on October 31, 1923. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, he was visiting a girlfriend in Ohio and was stunned at the news. He knew that would mean he would be serving his country. After enlisting in the U.S. Army, he was assigned to the 9th Air Force Division as a Private. Shortly after, he became an aviation cadet and eventually a 1st Lieutenant.

During his service, Wally flew 75 combat missions as a fighter pilot. It was his mission to shoot at the Germans and keep them at bay so the American transports could drop supplies. During one mission, the squadron was sent to “quiet” or dive bomb before transports arrived. His wingman was wounded and taken prisoner and his squadron commander was killed in action. Later on, Wally’s plane went down near Berlin and he was captured and became a prisoner of war.

Wally’s war ended on May 3, 1945, when he was turned over to the American bridgehead at Magdeburg, Germany by the German medical unit. He was awarded the Purple Heart, Distinguished Flying Cross, and three Presidential Unit Citations, among many others. He recently received the French Medal of Honor.
