But they gravitated toward one another and made a hell of a team.” Great story! Thanks! One small correction, though... From the story: "Both Zeamer and Sarnovski were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for the mission, the only time in World War II that two men from one plane ever received America’s highest medal for valor in combat." These two guys from my father's bomb group (452nd BG), Lt. Donald J. Gott, pilot and 2nd Lt. William E. Metzger, Jr., co-pilot, from the same plane also received the MOH, albeit posthumously.
