"Ace in a Day" by Stan Stokes
Vern Graham, a young Navy pilot, was assigned to a newly organized squadron, VF-11 in 1942. Sent to Guadalcanal, int inexperienced Navy pilots were assigned the older and technically obsolete F4Fs while the Marines were flying the state-of-the-art F4U Corsairs. On one mission a large number of Japanese fighters jumped a flight on Corsairs, Returning from a long escort mission , a number of pilots from Graham's F4F flight came to the rescue on the Marines. In a few short minutes Graham would bag 5 Zekes. Out of fuel and ammo, he would crash-land his F4F on Russell Island, sustaining serious injuries.
