There was a Marine Corsair pilot that intercepted a Japanese recon plane at high alitude and the Japanese rear gunner's gun was frozen from the cold and the Corsair's guns were frozen so he chopped off the Japanese rudder with his prop. I want to say it is Ira Kempford but I may be wrong. The Russian poster made me think of the story. It could have been Kenneth Walsh too.
