The Unlucky Eight,
by Stan Stokes
Jim Swett’s first combat yielded seven aerial victories for the young USMC
pilot on April 7, 1943. He officially got credit for 7 Vals on this mission,
although Jim thinks he may have gotten 8. For his efforts, this ace-in-a-day
was awarded the Medal of Honor. He ended the War with 16.5 aerial victories.
