Unforgotten Hero tells the captivating life history of Second Lieutenant Jimmy L. Escalle, a US Air Push fighter pilot who became missing in action through the Korean Warfare. Growing up in a small farming town in California's San Joaquin Valley through the 1930s and 1940s, Jim was a devoted son, a nurturing older sibling, a talented athlete, and a man of moral character who always put others first. He began high school as the next World Warfare was at its maximum, and graduated throughout a time of changeover within America and around the world. He previously always wanted to soar airplanes someday, and with the launch of aircraft propulsion during his high school years, he imagined becoming a aircraft pilot. Called to serve his country after the Korean War began, his fantasy became a reality when he became a member of the Air Push and eventually acquired the possibility to soar the F-86 Sabre, regarded as the innovative aircraft fighter of its time. Soon after arriving in Korea he went on his first missions, that have been MiG Alley sweeps. However, since Jim was designated to a fighter-bomber squadron, nearly all his combat missions were air-to-ground. They were the most dangerous missions. In Korea, more pilots have been killed or stated as MIA anticipated to being shot down by earth fire rather than enemy plane. For Jim, this reality was understood only five weeks prior to the armistice was authorized. He paid the ultimate price for freedom when he disappeared while on a combat quest over North Korea and was never seen or read from again.
