Summary[edit]
DescriptionFisher Myers Vietnam 1966.jpg | U.S. Air Force Majors Bernard F. Fisher and D.W. "Jump" Myers, in Vietnam, 10 March 1966. The photo was taken after Fisher's rescue of Myers from the A Shau Valley Special Forces camp airfield in front of Fisher's Douglas A-1E Skyraider (U.S. Navy BuNo 132649). Myers' aircraft had been hit over the camp and caught fire. Too low to bailout, Myers crash-landed his aircraft on the small airstrip at the Special Forces camp and ran to cover alongside the runway. Knowing that his wingman would be captured or killed before a rescue helicopter could arrive, Fisher landed his A-1E on the heavily damaged runway. As other Skyraiders provided cover, Myers jumped into Fisher's aircraft and they escaped amid heavy small arms fire. For these heroic actions, President Lyndon B. Johnson awarded Fisher the Medal of Honor on 19 January 1967. |
