William "Willy Irish" Driscoll is a retired Commander in the United States Navy and a Naval Flight Officer. Driscoll and Naval Aviator Randy "Duke" Cunningham, working as a flight crew, became the only navy flying aces from the Vietnam War, of the five U.S. aviators to become aces during that conflict. To date, Cunningham and Driscoll are the two last aircrew of the United States Navy to achieve "ace" status. Driscoll received the navy's second highest decoration, the Navy Cross, for his role in an aerial dogfight with North Vietnamese MiGs.
