Robert Dosé was a #ww2 fighter #pilot who downed an Imperial Japanese #aircraft. Thirty years later, his son Curtis downed a Vietnamese #mig21, making them the only father-son duo to each achieve aerial victories in #combat.
"Dozo," as Curt is known, joins us this week to describe the May 10, 1972 engagement and reconciliation with his former enemy 40+ years later. A #topgun graduate and #testpilot, Dozo also performed much of the #aircraftcarrier suitability testing on the #f14tomcat.
