American Aviation Captain

Captain Joseph T. Callaway was part of the original 341st Bomb Group Cadre. Arriving in India as a Lieutenant in May of 1942, he was assigned to the 22nd Bomb Squadron, where he gained experience, rank and became a Flight Leader. Although he had completed his required combat flying time and was eligible to return to the USA, he volunteered for a 'second tour'. In late 1943, he was given Command of the 491st Bomb Squadron and in January 1944 led them over the Hump to their new station, Yangkai AB, China.
