Colonel William R. Lawley, Jr., flew B-17s over Europe in World War II. In 1944, then-1st Lieutenant Bill Lawley brought his shot up bomber and severely wounded crew home after a fateful mission over Nazi Germany. In a radio call to the control tower, he made the now-legendary comment that he was inbound "with one turnin' and one burnin." This is his Medal of Honor story.
The Focus on Valor Series is introduced by nationally-syndicated radio talk show host First Sergeant Jon-David Wells and is narrated by Colonel Jay Seffern.
