Scope and content: 20TH AIR FORCE, OKINAWA--A/2C Don W. Murray of Mazon, Ill., flashes a victory smile from the gun blister of his U.S. Air Force B-29 "Superfort" after shooting down a Communist jet fighter. Airman Murray shot down the enemy jet during a pre-dawn strike against a Red staff school on the west coast of North Korea, October 8. Sighting the enemy fighter approaching from the rear, Murray fired as it attempted to sneak into the bomber stream. After five bursts, the jet broke away and exploded. Murray is a left gunner with the 307th Bomb Wing, based on Okinawa.
