Alva Temple and three other Tuskegee Airmen won the 1949 inaugural USAF Gunnery Meet...essentially their version of Top Gun. Yet their names were never recorded as the winners and were listed as "unknown" until 1995 and their trophy stuck in the back of a storage closet at Wright Patterson AFB Museum.
Temple retired to Columbus, Mississippi and opened a service station and radiator repair shop on HWY 69.
