The navigation computer he brought home with his flying suit from Vietnam when he retired I have this suit. Don't know what he did in Vietnam maybe fly Generals.
I wonder if anyone can find out the Distinguished Flying Cross writing about what he did? I was toll about flying over the mountins?
I don't know of any DFC database. It is significant award but there were a lot awarded.
There are a few sites with all MOH and DSC citations and SOME lower awards.
I'll check.
