Who was considered to be the only ace to fly a piston-engine aircraft during the Korean War?

Who was the first African-American naval aviator in USN history (his first sortie was during the Korean War)?

Who was the only pilot to shoot down a Mig-15 in a single-seat piston-engine aircraft?

What did these three men have in common?

At a guess they were probably the same guy. Another educated guess, by the facts presented so far, was the airplane was an A1 Skyraider.

About a 2 hour bus ride, just inside the range of the Norths artillery ring of fire.
