Gather round all you who love America and listen to the story of one George Andrew Davis Jr. a man among men and one of America's highest-scoring ace fighter pilots. This man dropped enemy planes like we drop our rucks after a 20-mile hike, hard fast, and straight to the deck. If you were an enemy fighter pilot and you came up against George, well by George you were most likely going to go down in flames.
George started his career in dropping enemy flyboys during World War 2 flying the P-47 Thunderbolt. From 1943 to 1944 he scored 7 enemy kills. Ace, and then some. World War 2 soon ended and the era of jet fighters began. The United States had the premiere jet at the time compared the Soviet MiG 15. The F-86 proved to be a weapon of immense destruction with George Andrew Davis behind the stick as he started dropping MiG after Mig after MiG.Those surly bastards stood no chance against Davis. Shooting down bad guys was an old news for George and he made sure they knew it. Dropping at least 14 more planes while in Korea. His last mission saw his flight of two F-86 Sabres attack a formation of twelve MiG 15's in order to allow bombers to complete their mission. He dropped two of the twelve, wreaking havoc on their formation.[caption id="attachment_18239" align="aligncenter" width="220"]
