Warbirds - Tales From Above

How long was the longest dogfight?  It's debatable, but this one is certainly in the running.  Captain Elmer Royce Williams takes on 6 Migs by himself.  That, of course, is what the plethora of internet articles will tell you.  While Williams is certainly a hero of hero's, he received some great help from some men that are rarely talked about.

Unlike the sports icons we see today, Nile Kinnick was one of the most humble athletes and one of the most dedicated patriots this country has ever seen.  I even track down a few relatives that have some stories of their own.  They share their gratitude about how the blood that runs in their veins has ultimately changed their lives for the better.
