Plea Of Ace's Widow Denied By Air Force
Tokyo reports that FEAF dismissed the widow Dorris Davis's call for an investigation into why Major George A. Davis was not rotated home after five downed aircraft. Weyland said Davis volunteered to remain in Korea, contradicting the widow's claim he never volunteered. Davis, 38th mission, held 14 enemy planes, was killed in a dogfight with MiG-18s. He had hoped to return home for Christmas, according to his wife. The dispute centers on Davis's desire to stay versus his wife's assertion he did not volunteer.
