Three times Indeed! Williams also flew 39 combat missions over Korea and was nearly shot down by ground fire; winning 3 Air Medals. A true flying Leatherneck! Future Astronaut John Glenn was the operations officer of the same Squadron. https://www.mca-marines.org/leatherneck/remembering-ted-williams-marine-fighter-pilot His call up in the Korean War was considerably more active than his WWII training career where his keen eyesight had made him the highest scoring gunner. "Over the years Theodore S. Williams accumulated a number of nicknames: The Kid, The Splendid Splinter and Teddy Baseball among others, but his squadron mates in Marine Fighter Squadron 311 gave him a new one. They called him Bush (as in "bush league")-an appellation meant to "get his goat," according to his operations officer, frequent wingman and future astronaut and U.S. senator, Major John H. Glenn Jr. Although it may have rankled him at first, Williams eventually accepted his new moniker.
Williams joined the "Willing Lovers" (a nom de guerre taken from the squadron's "WU tail letters) of VMF-311 at Pohang on Korea's eastern coast in early 1953. Captain Williams flew 39 combat missions, his plane was hit by enemy gunfire on at least three occasions, and he was awarded three Air Medals before being sent home with a severe ear infection and recurring viruses in June. Williams was formally discharged from active duty on 28 July 1953, the day after a cease-fire in Korea went into effect."
