"McCain Didn't Crash Five Planes? The Corner has an item up that appears to be false.
Will McCain, who finished 894th out of 899 at the Naval Academy and who lost five jets, return competence to the White House?
I'd wager it comes from this story which mentions his Father getting his wings at age 50.
Slew McCain was so driven that when the navy passed a rule saying only aviators could command a carrier, the old man went to flight school while in his fifties. He crashed five planes before finally getting his wings, and then his carrier. In one Pacific battle, planes under Slew McCain's command sank 49 Japanese ships in a single day."
So the crashed planes were by his father- but I presume that Bobert will blame the child for the sins of the father (except for O'Bomber, of course)
But it is certainly not worth trying to verify facts, when lies are so much more satisfying.
