Description:
Signed by WWII Hero Cdr Hal Buell, USN
28 August 1942; Solomon Islands. SBD Dauntlesses flying from Henderson Field on Guadalcanal catch four Japanese destroyers attempting to land hundreds of Japanese Marines on the island. As the ships take evasive action to avoid their attackers, Ensign Hal Buell dives his SBD on the Shirakumo. His direct hit critically damages the Japanese destroyer and kills over 100 of the enemy troops jammed on its deck. For his action Buell was awarded the Silver Star.
