When did Randy become Duke?

I have heard that Richie's ego is ginormous.

Worked with Chuck after he turned (F-4) pilot - and a very good one at that. He is an absolutely splendid bloke.

I've mislaid my book on the Viet Nam air war so I cannot answer Washington's question. But in aircraft such as the F-4, where most interception work (especially from BVR) required inputs from both crewmembers, both should be awarded the kills. The larger ego will usually claim them for himself though.
