    Korean War Ace, flying F-86 Sabrejet

    John Bolt was the only Marine to become an ace in WWII and Korea. In WWII, he flew with 'The Black Sheep', VMF-214, best known for its CO, Pappy Boyington.

    Bolt shot down 6 Japanese planes in the Solomons and an equal number of Soviet MiGs in Korea ten years later.
