Joseph C. McConnell Jr. was a natural born pilot, according to himself and, he proved it in Korea with 16 kills in short order.
Such skill as he had, only to die back home during an aircraft failure. I salute you Sir.
Thank you Tara for remembering this American Hero. God bless Captain McConnell and all who serve or have served this great nation.
