Worlds First Jet Ace and top Ace of 4th FIW James Jabara

Captain James Jabara USAF the World's First Jet Ace

Available as a canvas print

Capt. James Jabara flew with 334th FS, 4th Fighter Interceptor Wing during the Korean war. "Jabby's Big Day" depicts his flight on May 20, 1951. On that date he scored two victories despite the added drag from a drop tank that would not release. These two victories raised his score to six MiGs and he became the world's first all jet ace. Jimmy returned to the states to much fanfare shortly after his achievement but returned for a second tour with the 4th FIW and splashed nine more MiGs by war's end. Jabara was also credited with 1.5 victories during WWII while flying with the 363rd Fighter Group.

Captain Jabara draws a crowd after returning from his historic flight on May 20, 1951 and is given a lift by two squadron mates the following day for press photographers.
