OT-- thought you like this Chispas, for those who say Ted was forever arrogant <<In one episode, just his third mission in Korea, his aircraft was struck by enemy ground fire and he was advised by a nearby pilot to eject. Instead, Mr. Williams tried to return to his base, fearing that if he ejected, ''I would have left my knees behind.'' He was losing control of the jet and his landing gear was inoperable as he approached the runway with smoke and sparks shooting from his plane. Mr. Williams put it down on its belly and skidded more than half a mile before he jumped to safety. The jet exploded into flames an instant later.

Mr. Williams received an Air Medal and two Gold Stars for his service. ''I was no hero,'' he said. ''There were nearly 75 pilots in our squadrons, and 99 percent of them did a better job than I did.''>>
