Obituary article for Kenneth Schechter, NY Times, 22 Dec. 2013.
Flying an A-1 Skyraider over Korea in 1952, he was hit by AA fire. Canopy blown away, wounded,
blind, he was guided to a successful landing on a dirt airstrip, by his buddy flying alongside him
giving instructions.
Much more interesting account than my words do justice.
