Скачать или смотреть WHY America's Top Ace Had Only 4 Confirmed Kills: HOW 99 Victories Were Erased

First Lieutenant George Roberts returned from World War Two with four confirmed aerial victories. He also returned with a hidden notebook documenting ninety-nine more kills the Air Force would not recognize. His gun camera footage kept disappearing. His witness statements were deemed insufficient. White pilots with identical evidence became celebrated aces while Roberts worked as a mechanic earning half wages. In 1950, when the Air Force desperately needed experienced pilots for Korea, they asked him to return. He declined. In 1973, they finally corrected his record and offered him recognition as America's highest-scoring fighter pilot. He declined again. This is the story of what happens when the system asks you to prove your worth, then refuses to accept the proof.
