Willie Driscoll during a professional military educational trip for the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, I Marine Expeditionary Force aboard the USS Midway Museum, San Diego, May 6, 2015.

On May 10, 1972, they became the first American fliers to qualify as Aces in the Vietnam War when they shot down three MiGs in a single action. In addition to becoming the first Vietnam Aces, the two became the first Team of Aces, the first to score a triple kill over Vietnam and the first U.S. all-missile Aces.
