We believe Royce Williams' dogfight to be one of the greatest military engagements of all time. Join us as this legendary pilot recounts how he took on seven MiG-15s, and won!

Was he an ace? He was initially credited with one victory. He was later thought to have downed four MiG-15s from this battle. In light of recent evidence however, some believe five, possibly six, were downed because of this engagement thereby making him an unofficial fighter ace. If so, he is the last surviving ace of the Korean War (Forgotten War).

In this episode, he will discuss how his flying career began, his ascension to becoming a fighter pilot, and describe his big showdown in great detail!
