Retired general becomes Air Force's newest fighter ace
Retired Lt. Gen. Charles G. Cleveland searches his office computer for the official release provided by the Air Force confirming his jet fighter ace status during the Korean War. General Cleveland has been recognized by the Air Force as a jet fighter ace 55 years after the end of the Korean War. Newly discovered documentation by the Russian air force as well as eyewitness accounts by General Cleveland's wingmen proved evidence to support converting two probable kills into confirmed kills from dog fights over "Mig Alley" during the Korean War.
