WW2 Ace in a Sabre

Squadron Leader and WW2 Ace, Major George Andrew Davis was the first American to become an Ace in 2 wars. He also did this spanning the propellors and jets eras. His WW2 experience helped him earn command of the 334th Fighter Squadron of the 4th Fighter wing in the Korean war. He excelled at the post, leading by example, and demanding strict discipline among his men. Under his leadership the squadron became one of the best battling for the Korean skies.
Davis grew to be so valuable that he became irreplaceable, it was protocol for Aces to be recalled back to the US, for their safety so they could teach their skills to the next generation of pilots, but Davis became so instrumental in his role that the Air Force couldn’t find anyone to take his place. And so, he remained fighting in Korea and seeing more action than ever. Just half a month after becoming an Ace, he became a Double Ace, claiming his 10th victory on December 13th.
But he met his end on February 10th, 1952 when providing cover for a group of F-84 Thunderjets across the infamous MiG Alley, where MiG patrols were common and numerous.
George Andrew Davis would be posthumously promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, as well as awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor and a Purple Heart for his valiant actions that day.

The animation could do with more vibration and momentum of weight.

@liran547 in 1954-1955 and 1958 the Chinese did attempt to attack Taiwan though. They even had landing ships but the United States Navy had ships in the area and stopped them before hand. During the Korean War they did have Landing ships left over from ww2 but not in large numbers. The Chinese definitely didn't and still don't have naval supremacy in the area.

[@liran547]

@@Hanzzaki if you men ships that can be use to transport troops over the ocean, yes, PLA had losts of small windsurfing fishing boats at that time if thats what you mean, and the PLA NEVER tried to attack the island Taiwan, they only attacked the costal small islands which are just a few mails away from the shore, and they failed badly, due to LACK of landing ships, LOL. as to today's naval supremacy in this area, I dont know, but just 20 years ago, the US carriers could just park in Taiwan Strait as long as they want to.
