Accuracy?

Response to Appearance of FD and others

I haven't studied the site, but the opening page is certainly inaccurate. TW saw no combat service during WWII, in fact, stayed stateside as a flight instructor once he graduated flying school himself. He did fly 39 (I believe) combat missions in Korea, including being hit by enemy fire, losing all hydraulics, radio and controls, returning to base and crash landing with no landing gear.

Rounder Books recently published an indepth profile of TW's military career, including mission by mission descriptions from Korea and numerous pictures, stories and quotes from other Marines he served with.
