On July 16, 1953, Lieutenant Guy P. Berdelon shoots down his fifth enemy aircraft and becomes the only Navy Ace of the Korean War. He flew a F4V-4N Corsair because the conventional air force jets were too fast for the obsolete North Korean aircraft, nicknamed “Bed-check Charlie” because they flew so slowly and so low. The World War II Corsair became the most effective allied weapon against these slow flying machines.
