"Whistlin" Joe Rogers (Shot
down Mig15 With "Buckeye Blitz VI" Nov 1950
"The Russian made the fatal error
of trying to go over the top of me as we passed head-on...I just pulled
back and filled his belly with .50 cal. He caught fire, rolled over and
went in. The gun cameras malfucntioned,
but my wingman and I both saw him go in."
Joe was one of a few fellas that was
included in 1950's "Time Magazine Man of the Year" "America's
Fighting Men"
