Talk:Nguyen Toon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The History Channel recently featured an episode of "Dogfight" featuring Duke Cunningham explaining in detail how he shot this guy down. Ordinarily, I would suggest this needs more research (myth vs. reality), but the Duke-Stir seems to have become a less than credible source. Hiberniantears 16:59, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Based on what I saw, the narrator on the program was Cunningham's RIO, Willy Driscoll. "Duke" did not appear in the segment I saw, though he certainly told the Col. Tomb story many times previously. (A friend of mine is a retired USAF master sergeant. He always said, "I'm the only Tomb I know, and I'm Irish!")

[edit] added some links

Greetings, I added an external link article on North Vietnamese Ace pilots that also include info on “Colonel Toon”. I also added him to “Mysterious People” and “Nonexistent people” category. Even though, he’s just a fabrication to describe any good North Vietnamese pilot by US pilots, he was however for a time thought to be a real mysterious pilot. --James 20:24, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
