"Teggie Ann Over Ploesti" August 1, 1943
Perhaps the most heroic event by a group of American Airmen in World War II, the low-level Ploesti Raid of August 1, 1943 accounted for more medals of honor than any other single action in history (including the entirety of D-Day in Normandy), as well as more than a thousand medals of other types. 177 planes took off from the deserts of Libya to try to fly across the Mediterranean, cross the Balkans and sneak in under German defenses to bomb the massive Oil refinery complexes around Ploesti at 200 feet; 88 planes returned from the 12-14 hour 2,400 mile flight- the longest bombing mission undertaken by planes other than the B-29 during the war.

Jerstad, and 2nd Lt. Lloyd H. Hughes; Baker, Jerstad, and Hughes posthumously.
