    		This site has evidence that this pilot did not actually shoot down any plane on the day in question as has been claimed by the Americans.

    Additionally the first jet plane shot down was in fact an American one a few days earlier by a Korean one in the first ever "jet on jet" combat downing

    I couldn't believe that there were no Jet quizzes on this site! They are a fantastic Aussie band and so I'm making this quiz about their album "Shine On", their debut album "Get Born", and just some other stuff.
