If you want to hear from F9F Naval Aviator E. Royce Williams, Jr. himself, check out our interview with him here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SImG_7g-Lvg On November 18, 1952, at the height of the Korean War, Silver Star recipient Royce Williams would be involved in one of the longest dogfights in recorded history. Williams would find himself up against seven Soviet MiG-15 fighter jets during a harrowing 35-minute battle. Through a combination of skill, experience, and sheer luck Williams would survive the battle only to be faced with the challenge of landing his crippled Panther back on a carrier. After the engagement, military leaders concerned the incident might increase tensions between the U.S. and Soviet Union ordered the events classified as “Top Secret”, which they remained for decades following the war. ---------------------------------------------------------------- The American Veterans Center is a 501(c)3 charitable organization whose mission is to collect as many oral histories from military veterans of all eras with a special focus on WWII.
