I took your advice Evan and had a gander at the various operation Varsity sites I found this one contained a fasinating account of one action

That's a good one, trackend! I had not seen that one and should have looked on the AFA website for Varsity. That is the website of the Air Force Association, which I have yet to join. They had a great account of a couple of USAAF pilots that were awarded the MOH for their heroism during operation Torch. Varsity was huge, and successful. I wonder why it is so unknown.

I had a look at the timeline and there was nothing as big taking place at the time so it does seem a bit strange perhaps because its only known to most as the Rhine crossing .
