After destroying two of the MIG's, Colonel Davis deliberately sacrificed the superior speed which whould have permitted him to evade the concentrated fire of the enemy formations, and, slowing his plane by used of dive brakes, pressed the attack against a third MIG. During this attack, his F-86 was hit and crashed out of control into a mountain. Colonel Davis is credited with destroying 14 enemy planes in Korea, 11 of which were MIG's.
