Captain Browning had 7 aerial victories and his decorations included 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses, the Purple Heart, eight Air Medals and the French Croix de Guerre. Later in WWII the Allied bombers were flying deep into Germany but suffered tremendous losses because of the lack of range the fighter escorts had. German fighters would wait beyond the range of the Allied fighters and then attack the vulnerable bombers.
