This past Friday January 20, 2023, Royce Williams, 97, was awarded the Navy Cross for this action. He was given this "upgrade" because at the time it happened, his successful downing of Soviet Migs was considered too dangerous politically to be made public, so it was kept secret. At the urging of military and political leaders, the Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro visited San Diego and awarded him the Navy Cross at a ceremony held at the Air &Space Museum. Royce resides in Escondido California (my hometown). I stumbled upon this video by chance, and saw his story on the front page of the San Diego Union-Tribune by chance on the 22nd as well when I was leaving work, and bought the newspaper for the first time in a decade. Great story, and they're still pushing to award him the Medal of Honor.
