Okay; so that wasn't the giveaway I had thought it would be. Maybe this afternoon clue will help. Thanks; Ernie P,
Question: What warbird pilot do I describe?
Clues:
1. Perhaps his greatest feat was that he taught himself to fly.
2. In a single seat aircraft.
3. In what was, at the time, a front line fighter aircraft.
4. He was an ace; but not the greatest of aces.
