(Donald Edison), 1918-2012English.Biographical / HistoricalThe following is from Donald Edison Hillman's (1918-2012) obituary that was published in the Seattle Times (dated March 24, 2012):
"Donald E. Hillman was a highly decorated U.S. Army pilot, an ace fighter who had shot down five enemy airplanes during World War II. He flew 145 missions in 10 months, then was taken prisoner by the Nazis in 1944 after bailing out of a flaming airplane at 12,000 feet. Mr. Hillman twice escaped from German prison camps — the second time with the help of a German officer with whom he would later develop an extraordinary friendship. Mr. Hillman's wartime exploits landed him on the front pages of newspapers in Seattle, and on the cover of Life magazine [December 9, 1946] — a bona fide war hero who was fast running out of cloth on which to pin his service medals."
Scope and ContentsThe file consists of detailed World War II memoirs [unpublished] that include discussion of bombing missions and Donald E. Hillman's time as a prisoner of war.
