SUMMARY:Hometown Hero: Remembering the Life and Service of Major Horace S. Carswell\, Jr.
DESCRIPTION:Major Horace Seaver Carswell\, Jr.\, a Fort Worth native serving in the U.S. Army Air Forces\, posthumously received the Medal of Honor in 1946. Yet\, the significance of his service has not been widely commemorated in Fort Worth or even on the campus of his alma mater\, Texas Christian University.  This presentation highlights the outlines of his upbringing\, education\, and character growing up in Fort Worth and details the record of his heroic service as a command bomber pilot in the USAAF’s 14th Air Force during World War II. Through biographical publications\, photographs\, and contemporary records\, the talk traces his meteoric rise in rank\, his impressive achievements as an airman\, and the engagement that ended in his ultimate sacrifice\, as well as his legacy.  Major Carswell’s story\, at the same time\, draws attention to the important role played by airpower in the often-overlooked China-Burma-Indian theater of operations. \nMiguel Leatham holds a Doctorate in anthropology. He is a senior instructor in Anthropology and director of the Anthropology Program at Texas Christian University.  He enjoys researching the culture and history of the United States Air Force and its heritage organizations\, with a special focus on the Strategic Air Command. In recent years\, he has made efforts to help to raise public awareness about the significance of Medal of Honor recipient\, Major Horace S. Carswell\, Jr. at TCU and in Fort Worth community settings. Dr. Leatham is active in the Air and Space Forces Association and a member of the B-36 Museum in Fort Worth. \nRegister for Zoom Here!
