| Joe, I have problems with this as well. The basic facts are these: Two Chinese MiGs from the 12th Aviation Regiment, 4th Aviation Division, were shot down with one pilot KIA and one who bailed out. Officially the USAF credited Davis with two kills. The Soviets claimed two F-86s shot down on that date. KORWALD lists F-86E aircraft # 50-645 and #51-2752 (Davis) as shot down on that date. One can argue the case that it works out better towards the Soviet claim than the Chinese one, based strictly on the "Who shot John" claims. ((Side question: who was flying 50-645? He was rescued and nobody so far seems to have a name, but that could help sort things out a lot.)) Cookie Sewell AMPS |
