Default James McGovern/Earthquake McGoon: has this/his story been told in any movie?


The late Erik Shilling, who used to post regularly on this n.g., flew
for CAT along with McGovern. He had several missions into
Dienbienphu--as did another AVG Flying Tiger veteran, a ground crewman
who after his AVG hitch went back into the USAAF and became a pilot.

CAT's story (and McGovern's) is well told in the book Perilous
Missions, a history.

all the best -- Dan Ford
