Terrence J O'Neill

Military

The service records for Terrence J. O'Neill show his recorded name as such and there are two entries on the National Archives and Records Administration with this name. One was from New Jersey and one from New York. This record is for Terrence J. O'Neill from NJ, yet all aviation records associated with him from his personal mission list, Distinguished Flying Cross/ Air Medal award cards and official citations for combat missions flown over Europe reflect his name as Terrance J. O'Neill. It is quite an oddity, but is fact. Misspellings did occur.
