Obviously this account didn’t make it, but if you enjoy hearing about air combat actions, I can highly recommend the series “Dogfights” from the history channel. It gets really in depth about what’s going on, the encounters, the tactics, the technology. For me it was edge of your seat TV. I think History put many of these on YouTube. My only lament is that I can’t seem to find the pilot episode (or, rather, the show they did that eventually turned into a series). That show had a great account of Randy “Duke” Cunningham’s action in Vietnam. The only Naval Ace of the Vietnam War, he, too, shot down 3 aircraft in a single engagement. That awarded him the Navy Cross. He became a disgraced congressman convicted of fraud and corruption. That may be why we can’t find that show anymore. But it was a compelling account, broadcast before the scandal. Anyway, if this topic is interesting, I highly recommend “Dogfights”.
