Edward Sieber served as Pilot of a carrier-based Navy Dive Bomber in Bombing Squadron EIGHTY-TWO (VB-82), attached to the U. S. S. BENNINGTON (CV-20), in action against major units of the enemy Japanese Fleet in the East China Sea near Kyushu, Japan, on 7 April 1945. Lieutenant, Junior Grade, Sieber pressed home an aggressive and determined attack against the enemy battleship at the center of the enemy force, scoring a direct bomb hit on this ship, damaging it seriously and contributing to its later sinking. His attack was completed in spite of adverse weather and a low ceiling, and in the face of intense and accurate anti-aircraft fire from all enemy ships.

His courage and audacity were at all times in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service. Edward Sieber has hand signed this WWII Vintage 8x10 Photo with 4-7-45 inscription.
