Henry Eugene Erwin Sr. (May 8, 1921 – January 16, 2002) was a United States Army Air Forces airman and a recipient of the U.S. military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in World War II. He earned the award as a staff sergeant and radio operator aboard a B-29 Superfortress in the Asia-Pacific theater. During a 1945 bombing mission over Koriyama, Japan, a white phosphorus bomb prematurely ignited in his aircraft and seriously wounded him. As smoke filled the plane, he picked up the burning device and carried it through the aircraft to the cockpit where he tossed it out a window. Although he suffered severe burns, he successfully saved his plane and all crew members aboard by disposing of the incendiary/smoke-generating bomb.

Sergent-chef de l'United States Army Air Forces (USAAF), il est connu pour avoir obtenu la Medal of Honor lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. En effet, en 1945, alors opérateur radio à bord d'un Boeing B-29 Superfortress au cours d'une mission de bombardement sur Kōriyama, au Japon, une bombe au phosphore blanc s'allume prématurément dans le bombardier et le blesse gravement. Alors que la fumée remplit l'avion, il prend la bombe en feu et la transporte à travers l'avion jusqu'au poste de pilotage où il la jette par une fenêtre. Bien qu'il subisse de graves brûlures, il réussit ainsi à sauver l'avion et tous les membres d'équipage. (fr)
