While on a raid to Debrecen, Hungary, Second Lieutenant Miller’s bomber sustained a direct hit from flak and was severely damaged. Second Lieutenant Miller, assisted by his co-pilot controlled the bomber’s direction with the engines alone. The two men managed to return the aircraft to base and successfully land, however, the damage was so severe that upon landing the severed fuselage collapsed. Second Lieutenant Miller’s flying skills and unquestionable valor in aerial combat is in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflects great credit upon himself and the United States Army Air Forces.
