Lt. Col. Bernard Fisher makes a pass over a besieged airstrip in the A Shau Valley before landing to pick up a downed pilot from his squadron with his A-1E Skyraider.

Lt. Col. Fisher. the picture above shows the more courage than any 10 men are expected to have. No man left behind is more than just 4 words to you. This country sure could use a bunch of people with your courage right how. God Bless you and your family.

Wow, what an incredible story. This pilot lands on a besieged and damaged airstrip to pick up a fellow pilot while his own plane is getting shot up. Was this the night that NVA tanks attacked the Special Forces camp? Unbelievable...

No. Different place. They had a couple of similar instances involving P-51D and P-47D pilots picking up downed buddies in Europe. None got the MoH. . . .
