MIKE CAULK wrote on September 5, 2005 CITY AND STATE: SALINE MI UNIT: 2ND MARDIV SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: MARINE VETERAN Comments: I am building a large scale model of Maj. George Davis's F-86E #51-2752... and need help. There seems to be no photographs of this aircraft! Major Davis was shot down and killed by a Mig-15 on 10 February 1952. At the time he was the leading Korean War ace credited with 14 air victories in a very short period of time. For this he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. I have modeled aircraft for nearly 30 years and have accumulated a great deal of data and photos on the F-86 in general and the Korean War era birds in particularly and have NEVER seen a photo or a model of Major Davis's aircraft. In light of this man's record this is a tragic injustice. I would very much like to rectify this with a museum quality reproduction of his mount however I need help. We know from his widow that Davis named his aircraft "Doris" but has no pictures to confirm personal markings, kill stars/symbols or unit badges. There must be a photo taken by ground crew, another pilot or other support personnel. If anyone has any information that might help in honoring this outstanding courageous pilot it would be greatly appreciated.
