“I flew aircraft for four years in Korea and was shot down twice. The first time I had broken two legs, the second time the side of my head was taken off and I spent 11 weeks in a coma. We didn’t have enough pilots and it was a difficult time. Though I was bitter when I got out, I had stuck it out and was proud to do so.”
