Underdog
02/13/24 • 33 min
How long was the longest dogfight? It's debatable, but this one is certainly in the running. Captain Elmer Royce Williams takes on 6 Migs by himself. That, of course, is what the plethora of internet articles will tell you. While Williams is certainly a hero of hero's, he received some great help from some men that are rarely talked about.
