Miami Ace Ties MIG Kill Record Over Korea
Miami ace Captain Manuel Fernandez downed his 12th Russian fighter south of the Yalu River to tie the U.S. record for aerial destruction in Korea, matching Col. Royal Baker. Maj. Clyde L. Wade and Capt. George P. Kelly also reported two MIGs destroyed, as Allied jets struck air fields and a troop-supply area in the Haeju peninsula amid light ground fighting. Fernandez, 27, praised the five-minute dogfight and said he will press on with 14 missions left toward the overall 11‑plane MiG and three-propeller total set by Major George Davis in 1932.
