LA TUA VALUTAZIONE

The true story of a living American hero who after 60 years has been nominated for the Medal of Honor for his heroic feat of protecting a carrier battle group from seven Russian fighters. As the Korean War raged, Russia was not only supporting, but secretly fighting against the U.S. during this armed conflict with two superpowers at the brink of a nuclear World War III. Forgotten Hero is the story of one Navy pilot who despite being outnumbered took on seven superior Russian fighters --he not only won but was ordered to keep it secret for over 60 years. Forgotten Hero is an amazing story of a forgotten war where the skies over North Korea were deadly.

The Real Story of Navy Air Combat in Korea

On 18 November 1952, Then-Navy Lieutenant Royce Williams found himself alone in an aerial duel against SEVEN superior, aggressively flown Russian MiG jet aircraft.

I met him and listened to his story first hand. The movie was filmed aboard USS Midway and the film did an excellent job in telling his story.

Williams was forced to engage the MiGs as they swarmed him, and in the 38 minutes that followed, he bested at least four of those aircraft. The battle culminated with gut-wrenching air combat maneuvers to avoid being shot down while trying to take out the Russian pilots trying to kill him. He just-barely brought his wounded F9F Panther jet back and landed safely aboard the carrier Oriskany....where he was promptly told during the debriefing that what had just happened "didn't."

The Forgotten Hero of the Forgotten War. The House of Representative passed a defense authorization bill package in July 2022 to award his congressional medal of honor at the age of 97. This bill authorizes the President to award the Medal of Honor to Captain E. Royce Williams, US Navy Retired for his acts of valor as a Lieutenant in the Navy, on November 18, 1952.
