Paperback. Condition: Good. [Personal copy of Sgt. Charles R. Heinhorst, Purple Heart Recipient for the Attack at Pearl Harbor.] Softcover. Good binding and cover. Edge wear. Contemporary signature of Heinhorst on front cover and end page. Personal notes of Heinhorst through out. A couple small stains. "Charles R. Heinhorst is a… master sergeant today, his promotion to that rank being the second of two honors bestowed on him in rapid succession at this radio university of the army Air Forces. The day before his elevation to master sergeant from technical sergeant, Heinhorst was decorated with the Purple Heart by Maj. Gen. Frederick L. Martini, commanding general of the Second District, AAF Technical training command for performing meritorious acts of essential service during the Japanese air attack on the Island of Oahu, Territory of Hawaii, Dec. 7. On detached service as a radio man and mechanic in Hawaii, Heinhorst and his wife and child were asleep on the morning of the raid in their quarters near Hickam Field. As the bombing started the sergeant sent his family into the hills with neighbors and hunted up his squadron at the post. A bomb hit just outside the building he was in. The walls were blown out and burning powder and fragments of the bomb caused numerous casualties. Heinhorst was wounded in the arm and suffered a torn ligament in his back. Later, in February, Heinhorst left Hawaii for Officer's Candidate school at Ft. Monmouth, J.J., but was forced to drop the course because of his recurring back injury. He came to Scott Field and was attached to headquarters, Sq., AAFTC, as an instructor. In making the presentation of the Purple Heart, Gen. Martin asked Heinhorst if he had fully recovered from his wounds and the latter replied in the affirmative. The general expressed the nation's appreciation for the sergeant's war service. With Gen. Martin at the ceremonies were Col. Wolcott P. Hayes, commanding officer of Scott Field and Maj. W.W. Lilley, post adjutant. The retreat ceremony and review was presented by the 8th Base Headquarters and Air Base Sq. of the Provisional Air Base group and a detachment of the Aviation Cadets. Lt. Col. Roy W. Fleming, group commander, was in charge of the formation, assisted by Capt. O.D. Loomis, adjutant. Sgt. Heinhorst's medal was the first Purple Heart to be awarded at this field since the outbreak of the war." - Chatsworth Plaindealer, AUGUST 13, 1942.
