“[Chief Warrant Officer] Senter received the Bronze Star Medal for developing an oven for use in the manufacture of plastic windows for B17 aircraft. Before his invention many aircraft were grounded from combat damage to the windows, until plastic windows could be obtained. The oven he developed has eliminated the need to ground any aircraft for that reason.” (From 8th Air Force news release reprinted in The Fresno Bee on March 17, 1945.)
