Ensign Brown and his wingman, Hudner, of FighterSquadron 32, were attacking enemy targets around the reservoir when Brown's Corsair was struck and disabled byenemy ground fire. Brown guided his plane to a clearing on the slope of a mountain 6,500 feet above sea level. The plane's fuselage crumpled like a half-closed accordion.

Not wanting to leave a fellow airman behind, Hudner tightened his harness and, with his wheels up, set his F4U-4 Corsair down onto the snow and rocks some 100 yards from Brown's smoking aircraft.

The details of this heroic feat, that led to Hudner being awarded the Medal of Honor, is included with every model.
