Lt. Stewart’s plane, named “Utah Man,” came back with 365 holes in it. The damage the aircraft suffered was so severe that they had to reduce airspeed and nearly ran out of fuel. The plane landed two hours after most of the other aircraft had returned to base. Walter T. Stewart retired as a Colonel after thirty-six years of service. Among his many decorations are the Distinguished Service Cross, which was not awarded until 1995 due to clerical errors; the Silver Star; Distinguished Flying Cross; and Air Medal with 4 Oak Leaf Clusters. Black-and-white photograph is hand-signed by Stewart, matted and framed in wood under glass. Certificate of authenticity included.
