True, but he did struggle a bit with the jet age but still a great pilot. For Korea though -> Manuel John "Pete" Fernandez, Jr.

I had to google this, an HO2S. Thanks for the lead, happy reading to follow (even if only Wiki, I know).

You might also appreciate my Mickey Rooney reference, then.
He was "Forney", the rescue pilot in the movie "Bridges of Toko Ri".

I appreciate you offering it, but you're throwing pearls before swine in this case. I've never been a movie guy and your reference goes right over my head. I vaguely know who Rooney is, but beyond that, a blank.

Bridges of Toko Ri is a good Korean War movie and actually one of the few war movies my step-dad (USMC, Chosin survivor) actually liked.

I'll watch it if I can find it online -- y'all's recommendations probably aren't given lightly and I trust them.
I don't own a TV so don't have cable or streaming services.

Strategic Air Command is 100% B-36 p0rn - Jimmy Stewart just makes it all that much better
