He also did more carrier landings than anyone else in history including first jet deck landing...
AND he's still alive and going strong ,he's even tried IL2 -found the joystick responses way too sudden/sharp if I remember correctly.
It doesn't go straight to his page on wiki for some reason, but easy enough to find him. A fine pilot, didn't know he had tried IL-2! I think another WWII veteran pilot said the same thing about the responsiveness, think he was an American but don't recall the name.
