He flew F-8s, but I think he was shot down while flying an A-4.
You are right - my error: Sorry. He flew the A4E when he was shot down. I remember reading a book he wrote about his experiences; he said he spent a tremendous amount of time and energy ensuring his squadron was sea-worthy for the Viet Nam war.
