After the War

Peter Seniawsky returned to civilian life with a stunning list of accomplishments during his short military enlistment:• He was the first American airman (and perhaps the only one) to escape from Germany, evade capture in France and reach Spain—entirely through his own efforts, with no help from the French Resistance movement.

• He was one of only 817 U.S. airmen to be awarded the Silver Star during the war.

• He is a member of the Caterpillar Club, for having bailed out of a combat-damaged aircraft; a member of the Winged Boot Club, for walking from behind enemy lines to freedom; and a member of the Gold Fish Club, for surviving an aircraft ditching in water. Only one other individual is known to be a documented member of all three honorary clubs.
