根據維基上的簡曆，Gabriel在朝鮮從未被擊落過，也未曾被俘過。韓戰還沒結束即已調往歐洲。

After graduation from West Point, Gabriel entered pilot training at Goodfellow Air Force Base, Texas, and completed advanced training at Craig Air Force Base, Alabama, in December 1951. His first assignment was to South Korea, where he flew 100 combat missions in F-51 Mustangs and F-86 Sabres and was credited with shooting down two MiG-15s.

From December 1952 to November 1955, Gabriel was assigned to the 86th Fighter-Interceptor Wing, Landstuhl Air Base, Germany, as a pilot and later a squadron air operations officer. He then spent three years as an air officer commanding at the United States Air Force Academy, Colorado.

Gabriel 如果在鴨綠江上空被擊落，必然成為戰俘，是不可能在停戰之前調往歐洲任職的。

他有沒有擊落王海，那就是另一回事了。
