McCorkle was a WW II legend. His first combat occurred when he commanded the 54th Fighter Group flying P-39s in the Aleutian Campaign. A West Point graduate, McCorkle rose to Colonel on 16 Nov 1942 and moved to the MTO to command the 31st FG. There he began flying reverse lend-lease Mk. VIII Spitfires. He destroyed 5 enemy aircraft while flying the Spit to become one of only a handful of American Spitfire aces. In April 44, the 31st transitioned to the P-51 Mustang and McCorkle got six more kills to become a double ace plus one!!! He continued his USAF career until retiring as a Major General in Sep. 1966.
