 | Lethal Encounter by William S Phillips.
On April 19, 1967, then-Major Leo K. Thorsness took on, in the words of another officer, most of North Vietnam all by himself in one of the epic battles of that war. On that day, Thorsness and his backseater, Electronic Warfare Officer Captain Harold E. Johnson, fought about a half-dozenMiGs, shot down one-and probably another while protecting their wingman, who, with his backseater, had been forced to bail out of their damaged aircraft over enemy territory. The artist has captured the moment after Thorsness shot past his kill and continued on, during one of the most valiant efforts in the air war. He left the battle area only for midair refueling and then returned to ward off enemy fighters, staying even after he had run out of ammunition. |
