Kenneth O. Campion was an aviator in the United States Marine Corps
during World War II. He was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross for his
actions during the Battle of Midway as a member of VMSB-241. Campion's
official residence was listed as Fountain City, Wisconsin. Campion was
one of nine new pilots who joined Marine Aircraft Group 22 in late May
1942, within a few days prior to the enemy attack. They arrived on
Midway Atoll on May 27 and were assigned to VMSB-241 which was commanded
by Major Lofton Henderson. Campion had never flown an SB2U Vindicator,
so he began to immediately get checked in the new airframe. Prior to the
battle he was able to fly two or three flights with practice bombs.
