A hero pilot who shot down at least four Russian Migs in a classified dogfight at the height of the Cold War which saw his jet shot 263 times is to receive the Navy Cross.

Retired Navy Captain Royce Williams was sworn to secrecy for more than 50 years over fears that his battle against seven Soviet fighters could spark war with Russia.

Now the 97-year-old is free to tell his tale and is due to receive the Navy's second highest award for combat valor on Friday at the San Diego Air & Space Museum. Link

Everyone knew they were Russians flying those Mig-15's in Korea because they were new and the Russians were the only ones who knew how to fly them at the time, they had to keep quiet so they didn't upset "Uncle Joe". 
Are we having fun yet?
