	The Amazing George Welch: Part One
		George was to report to the 47th Fighter Squadron based at Wheeler Field on the Hawaiian island of Oahu.

		Welch and Taylor had flown their P-40B fighters over to the small airfield at Haleiwa as part of a plan to disperse the squadron’s planes away from Wheeler.

	George Welch - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		George Welch was originally born George Louis Schwartz, Jr., but changed his name to avoid the anti-German sentiment surrounding World War I.
		However, Welch disregarded this order, and during a test flight on October 1, 1947 he entered a steep dive from 35,000 ft. During the dive, Welch observed symptoms compatible with Mach jump, and a sonic boom was heard at the base.
		Welch went on to serve with the army again in the Korean War as an instructor where he reportedly downed several enemy aircraft while "supervising" his students.

	Valor: Pearl Harbor and Beyond - May 1993
		George Welch and Kenneth Taylor were awakened by the scream of aircraft engines and the sound of exploding bombs.
		By the time Welch was airborne for his third sortie, the Japanese armada of some 350 aircraft had departed for their carriers, leaving the US Pacific Fleet in ruins and having destroyed most of the US military aircraft parked wingtip-to-wingtip as a safeguard against sabotage.
		Welch's four confirmed victories in his first combat experience were an illustrious start for a distinguished war record as a fighter pilot that was to span the next two years in the Pacific.

	George Schwartz Welch, Major, United States Air Force
		George Welch was originally born George Louis Schwartz, Jr., but changed his name to avoid the anti-German sentiment surrounding World War I. He completed 3 years of a mechanical engineering degree from Purdue University before joining the Army Air Corps in 1939.
		Welch was saying that instead of going to sleep, he wanted to drive back to their own base at nearby Haleiwa Field for a nice Sunday morning swim.
		Welch began testing the prototype P-86 (later redesignated F-86) Sabre, a new jet fighter which combined the aerodynamic advances of the propeller-driven Mustang with the lessons of swept-wing research the Germans had developed for their jet aircraft toward the end of the war.

	George Welch
		Lieutentant WELCH'S initiative, presence of mind, coolnes (sic) under fire against overwhelming odds in his first battle, expert maneuvering of his plane, and determined action contributed to a large extent toward driving off this sudden unexpected enemy air attack.
		The citation description of the Welch P-40 taking fire seems to be a combination of what happened to Taylor's P-40 and a P-36 flown by Lt. Philip Rasmussen, who scored one kill in aerial combat that day.
		One of the stories about George is that he wore a parachute under his dinner jacket one weekend night to a dance in the Royal Hawaiian Hotel ballroom.

	The Amazing George Welch: Part two
		Welch went for dinner and a beer, and as was his habit, he spoke with Millie Palmer, a local girl who made Pancho’s her home away from home.
		As soon as Welch landed after his second low speed flight in the “fixed gear” XP-86, he was informed that his wife Jan had gone into labor with their first child.
		Welch did not realize it at the time, but this maneuver was to greatly increase the force of his sonic boom as it slammed into the earth.

	Major George Schwartz "Wheaties" Welch USAAF // Chief Test Pilot, North American Aviation (1947-1954)
		Welch was a graduate of St. Andrew's School in Middletown and attended Purdue University (Engineering: Phi Delta Upsilon Fraternity) before enlisting in 1939.Randolph and Kelley USAAC Fields, TX and Hamilton Field, CA.
		George "Wheaties" Welch was not only lucky enough to climb with a P-40B, but skilled enough to down four aggressors during that day of infamy.
		Unfortunately for Welch, the intermediate chain of command, their pride evidently smarting from having been caught off guard and suffering the evastation they did, reasoned absurdly that Welch had taken off without proper authorization and could therefore not be awarded the nation's highest military award; the award was downgraded to a Distinguished Service Cross.

	Pearl Harbor, George Welch, Ken Taylor, Fritz Hebel
		At that moment, just ten miles south of Lieutenants Welch and Taylor, carrier-based dive bombers, torpedo planes and fighters of the Imperial Japanese Navy were beginning their carefully planned sneak attack on the great American naval base at Pearl Harbor, as well as its surrounding airfields.
		As Welch and Taylor walked to their car to head back to their own base, they saw sixty-two new Curtiss P-40 "Tomahawks" parked wing tip to wing tip, so they could be guarded, "against sabotage."
		Welch kicked his rudder and the Tomahawk whipped around and blasted the Val, though his own plane had been hit once more.

	Ken Taylor: The Reluctant Hero
		Because Welch received his commision in the U.S. Army Air Corps a few months prior to his fellow pilot, by military procedures he was decorated just before Taylor on Jan. 8, 1942 at an Army Air Corps medal presentation ceremony at Wheeler Field, Hawaii.
		As he modestly related his role in repulsing, with fellow pilot George Welch, the overwhelming odds of some 300 Japanese aircraft, he described it something akin to shooting fish in a barrel.
		At right is the Distinguished Service Cross, the medal awarded to Ken Taylor and George Welch for heroism during the attack on Pearl Harbor.
