Myth master

The F-8.

1,261 Crusaders were built. By the time it was withdrawn from the fleet, 1,106 had been involved in mishaps.

170 lost to all causes during Vietnam war.

Gets label "MiG master": shooting down 19 enemy aircraft.

In the bigger picture of logistics, for each MiG shot down, 9 F-8s were written off.

1:9...in favor of the enemy.


Value!
