In an e-mail from Doug Taylor dated 3/6/06 to our Museum Director Donna Zellner Neal:
Donna,
Attached are photos for the NT History Museum of both sides of the E Award for the P-40 and C-46 Aircraft, built at the Buffalo Plants. The date on the medal is August 20, 1942. Also attached is a photo of his other E Award, from the Columbus, Ohio Plant which built the SB2C aircraft along with the Buffalo Plants. Dad never worked at Columbus, so I assume that Buffalo shared the award. The small lapel pins are 2 "Production Soldier 100%" in the left column, and 2 Production Awards, one having 1 star, and the other having 3 stars. Dad lived on Evans St. in NT at this time, and commuted by car to work.
