Re: \\\\\Col-Tomb toon

This myth could be originated from a picture showed a Mig painted with more than a dozen red stars, some Americans guessed that belonged to a super aces in the North Vietnam air force, not knowing that usually more than one North Vietnam pilots would fly same Mig and if any of them scored a victory on that Mig, he would paint a red star on the same Mig. Then from radio interception, one of the North Vietnamese call sigh sounded like "Toon" to Americans, so one plus one, there was a super North Vietnam ace name col Toon! According to Vietnamese record, there was no Col Toon in their air force, and the score of their top ace in the Vietnam war were 9 kills
