Sorry, but I had to laugh a little 'cause you got me scratching my head and burning up the interweb looking for the answer!
One day, maybe pretty soon, I'll ask a really hard question. But, this ain't that. Here's another question to aid your search. Thanks; Ernie P.
Question: What warbird pilot do I describe?
Clues:
1. His name is right there at the top of at least one list.
2. And, second on a much larger list.
3. He was an experienced military veteran before his war began.
4. And, he was already a pilot; although he did not start his military career as such.
5. He was small of stature.
6. Although he practiced gymnastics for recreation.
7. Very early in the war, he crashed on takeoff due to an engine failure.
8. He suffered two broken legs; yet managed to pull a crewmember to safety.
