Is it a young Gus Grissom first American in space twice.One of three killed in training on Apollo 1 Jan 27 1967?
Just a punt

I thought that perhaps his insignia would be a big help.

Another hint: F-86 Sabre

There it is!

Colonel Jabara is of Lebanese descent and is a personal hero of mine. He is a good example of the 15,000 Arab-Americans who served in WWII.

You're up! (Unless Ned wants it, whatever)

Go Ned,

I had a crack with Grissom at first and needed the Sabre hint to get it.

This is obviously a Sherman variant, but what was it called and what was it designed for, and how was it eventually used very successfully in a different role?

Regards, Ned.
