Actually, the F-4 had a higher kill ratio. It was a Navy F-4 that shot down the first MIG and no F-8 guy ever achieved "ACE" status. Having posted that fact I must admit that most of us who flew the F-4 are not particularly fond of Randy "Airhead" Cunningham. And always remember, never forget,...

I have never heard of a single navy aircraft getting airborne at Pearl Harbor. Was this because all the naval aircraft were based at a single facility? Has there ever been an accounting of what actually happened to immobilize the navy air? The army managed to get up an assortment of fighters...

I have an unidentified photo of an airbase ramp with about 100 plus P-47s on the ramp. The P-47s are olive drab with no large white numbers on the nose. Any idea where this could be? Where were the P-47 transition units or replacement traning units during the war? The base is flat as a pancake...

I'm trying to figure out the BRAC logic in the realignment of NAS Brunswick, Maine. The plan is to relocate all the planes to NAS Jacksonville but keep Brunswick open as a Naval Air Facility.
