Talk:VA-52 (U.S. Navy)/@comment-71.214.92.134-20150911011038

1965-1966 deployment VA-52 had an American Indian Pilot (name unknown) I lost my Cruise book in a flood long ago. This pilot was shot down on a mission in North Vietnam,landed in the sea and was picked up by a helo. Later when we were on Dixie station he was shot down and landed in a rice paddy and pick up by an Army helo.Read a book long ago about an Air Force Pilot flying A1's who was shot down twice and the author claimed it was a first,I knew better the Navy VA-52 was the first. This should be part of Squardon history. geraldmatlock@hotmail.com Guided Missile Division CVA_14 AO3.
