I always remember after thinking of him as a display pilot that he also flew during the war - P-51s IIRC - and was shot down but returned home after stealing a '190.
I think that he is dead these days, might just be for tax purposes!

Chuck yeager talks about him in his book, as being a great test pilot and friend
