Marine fighter pilots?

Marines don't have fighter pilots. They have mud movers.

If my meory isn't faulty, a marine in a mud-moving machine, aka F4U,
shot down a Mig in Korea.

And aside from John Bolt, who scored 6 kills flying F-86s in Korea to
add to his six while in the Black Sheep, there was that other marine
flying F-86s as an exchange pilot with the 51st FIW, who's credited with
three MiG kills in 27 missions. Some guy named John H. Glenn, whose
subsequent career was pretty run of the mill :^).

Yeah, that Glenn guy ended up doing some test pilot work for some agency
based in Florida, didn't he? NOAA or NCA or something like that. Can't
really recall.
