Re: "History" and the History Channel

Well some corrections could be included where history differs from the account of the pilot.

Two that come to mind:

1. There was no Col Tomb/Toom in the NVAF.

2. Johnson's P-47 was not attacked by Egon Meyer. The LW pilot was either Lt. Waldemar Radener or Fw. Wilhelm Mayer. It could also have been mentioned that 5 P-47s were lost during this combat.

There needs to be some balance, so why not do a show on Col. Yevgeni Pepelyaev (23), the commander of the 196th IAP, and Nikolai Sutyagin (21) for Korea or a show about Nguyen Van Coc (9) and Nguyen Hong Nhi (8) (2 of the 16 NVAF aces) for Nam.
