James W. Empey first flew into combat flying Spitfires and P-51s over North Africa during World War II and scored all five of his aerial victories in just 30 days, from May 29 to June 28, 1944. Empey was off to war again flying low over the Vietnam jungle barely missing the jagged treetops serving as a Forward Air Controller as he banked his Cessna O-1 Bird Dog in search for signs of Viet Cong activity, often spotting the enemy by the muzzle flashes of ground fire aimed at his plane. Empey directed over 154 airstrikes firing white phosphorus rockets to mark the enemy forces for an airstrike by North American F-100 Super Sabres. He finished his tour with over 700 combat flying hours and returned to Systems Command, participating in the launching of communication satellites. Among his decorations are the Silver Star, the Distinguished Flying Cross with two Oak Leaf clusters, and the Air Medal with 27 Oak Leaf clusters.
