My father, Major Donald Adams, is shown at 4:32, 4:44, 9:44, 13:37, and mentioned at 31.23. He was credited with shooting down 6 and one-half Migs making him an ace. He was killed in an air show in Detroit shortly after returning from Korea.

...WHAT A LIFE!... TWO wars pilot-ace , that flew first as a volunteer with the RAF Polish Squadrons with Spitfires - THEN with the American USAAF on P47's "Thunderbolts" (or "Jug"s) upon which he became an ace and THEN - almost before retiring to the USA and having shot down more than 25 nazi planes he WRECKED HIS PLANE and got caught by the krauts, finishing the war in a nazi "Stalag". In WW2 (as far as I remeber) his final score was 28, which made him USA's "Top Gun" in the European theatre of war. ONLY THEN he goes back to fighting in the Korean war, with "Sabre"-s - TOTALLY different plane - ...AND HE BECOMES ACE ONCE AGAIN! :D ...this guy was INCREDIBLE! All the Best from Poland, USA! :)
