His own aircraft (painted in United Nations colours) was destroyed on the ground by a man who went on to be India's Navy Chief many years later. His account of the engagement makes for a good read, and there's a paragraph on Yeage

Fun fact: before Maruti Suzuki came calling, cars were not transported on trucks or trains to the dealership. They were driven there. So it was common to buy a car new, and receive it with 500+ kilometres on the odometer because it had been
