<\/a>Such was the role of First Lieutenant Stanley F.H. Newman, who served with the 162nd<\/sup> Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron of the USAAF\u2019s 10th<\/sup> Photographic Reconnaissance Group, which in the spring of 1944 was stationed at Chalgrove Airfield in the county of Oxfordshire, Great Britain. Born in 1923 in Chicago, Illinois, to a Jewish family (most probably with Polish roots, as would be suggested by his name, Stanley, which is the English form of the Polish Stanis\u0142aw), in 1942 he enlisted in the USAAC, and, after receiving fighter training, was posted to Ninth Air Force as a photographic reconnaissance pilot. He went on to fly 57 combat missions on the F-6C Mustang, during which he also achieved one kill. After the war he served with the 185th<\/sup> Fighter Squadron of the Oklahoma Air National Guard, and saw action in Korea (1952) and Vietnam (1969). In 1973, he took over command of the 137th<\/sup> Airlift Wing, retiring in 1983 in the rank of major-general. Stanley F. H. Newman continues to be active in the public affairs of the Oklahoma Air National Guard. In 2013, he was awarded the French Legion of Merit.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
