By William Phillips

Lethal Encounter - Vietnam Aviation by William Phillips

On April 19, 1967, then Major Leo K. Thorness took on, in the words of another officer, "most of North Vietnam by himself" in one of the epic battles of that war. On that day, Thorsness and his backseater, Electronic Warfare Office Captain Harold E. Johnson, fought about a half-dozen MiG's shot down one - and probably another - while protecting their wing man, who, with his backseater, had been forced to bail out of their damaged aircraft over enemy territory. The F-105F, AF Ser. No. 63-8301, flown by Maj Thorsness and Captain Johnson.

Leo Keith Thorsness (February 14, 1932 – May 2, 2017) was a Colonel in the United States Air Force who received the Medal of Honor for his actions in the Vietnam War. He was awarded the medal for an air engagement on April 19, 1967. He was shot down two weeks later and spent six years in captivity in North Vietnam as a prisoner of war.

Countersigners: Colonel Leo K. Thorsness and Colonel Harold E. Johnson.
