A highly decorated combat ace of World War II and veteran of the Korean War, Major General John R. Alison was credited with the first night victory in the China-Burma-India (CBI) Theater. After arriving in the China-Burma-India theater, Major John Alison was awakened from his sleep by a night bombing raid of the Japanese Air Force. He asked his commanding officer for permission to attempt to intercept the Japanese aircraft when they returned. On the night of 30 July 1942, the enemy did return, but this time two P-40s were airborne. Led by Major Alison, the defenders spotted three enemy bombers above them at 15,000 feet. Misjudging his overtake during the intercept, Alison slid his P-40 into the bomber formation and was raked from nose to tail by a Japanese turret gunner. Alison persisted and downed two bombers while damaging the third. Nursing the crippled P-40 home, he was able to crash land in the Siang River near the runway. For his experimental night interception, Major Alison was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross.
