Description: Greetings and Salutations! Welcome to our store. We upload listings often!! Achievement: James Swett's became an ACE in a DAY in the action that earned him the Medal of Honor. He was himself, shot down by the last plane he attacked. Navy rescue boats were busy picking up numerous downed pilots that day, mingled among many downed Japanese pilots, and approached all cautiously. After locating Swett in the water, before coming closer a sailor yelled, "Are you and American?" Swett responded, "You're goddamn right I am!" The sailor then advised his boat master that is was okay to approach as the man in the water was obviously "one of them loud-mouthed Marines." James Swett finished the war as a Marine Corps TRIPLE ACE credited with shooting down FIFTEEN enemy aircraft in aerial combat, and assisting in destruction of one additional enemy airplane.
