There are a few pictures of him in a Mustang.

I thought Rock Hudson played him in a Korean War movie.
May have been another pilot... sine you said he wa Marine
Interesting they used T28's as the attacking Prop AC

I do not recall ever meeting any son of a congressmen on the front lines in combat.  I seem to remember a base ball player who may have been flying a jet.

As to WW II, the body of Geo. George Patton's son was found in the cockpit of his P-51 about a month ago and had been missing since about 1944 or so. A farmer found the plane in some woods on his farm while searching for lost cows.  A few other well know persons were lost during WW II, but do not recall any during the Korean War.
