Captain David McCampbell is the US Navy’s “ace of aces.” During the first day of the Battle for Leyte Gulf (24 October 1944), Commander David McCampbell's Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat, named MINSI III, was only partially fueled when a large formation of Japanese aircraft was spotted on radar. Scrambling with six other fighters, he and his wingman took on about 40 enemy fighters while the remaining five aircraft attacked the Japanese bomber element. During the next 90 minutes, McCampbell achieved nine victories while his wingman shot down an additional six. McCampbell was forced to land on another carrier nearby--his engine sputtered out of fuel as soon as he hit the deck. His nine aerial victories during this flight established the American record for the most aircraft shot down by one pilot in a single mission.

The autograph(s) has been authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA for authenticity purposes.
