The P-47 at the NMUSAF has been refinished in his markings. His aircraft was named Five by Five.

Saw three kills, and the ship, but did I see that right that he was credited with destroying 5 tanks too?

Jack, you'll get no argument from me concerning Col. Laughlin.



Might I also humbly suggest Phil Cochran as an additional candidate for "best of the best" consideration?




Col. Philip G. Cochran, CO 1st Air Commando

Yes but Betty White broke his heart!
