Phantom Fact

US pilot shot down four Soviet MiGs in 30 minutes โ€” and kept in a secret for 50 years.

Interesting story, but this part is not correct.

On November 18, 1952, Williams was flying the F9F Panther โ€“ the US Navyโ€™s first jet fighter โ€“ on a mission during the Korean War.

The McDonnell FH Phantom was the US Navyโ€™s first jet fighter, though not a particularly successful one. It was quickly replaced by better models. But facts matter โ€” and their โ€œfactโ€ is wrong.
