Through Korea and Viet Nan

The author was accidently sent to Korea as a Marine Pvt without any combat training. after he was under fire for awhile he got the CO to return him to the states for more training. From ground pounder to fighter pilot Tremendous reading. I met him at the Palm Springs Air Museum where he was dosent showing planes he had flown. You can't beleive some of his experiences!
