Probably a lot like the look on Bud Anderson's face when someone calls
him Yeager's wingman.

Does anybody really think of him that way? The only reason I know
about him was because of his book (easily one of the most memorable
fighter-pilot memoirs) which made it clear that they weren't wingmen.
My favorite part was Anderson's tale of "The Drink Not Toasted" with
Tom Lanphier, who claimed credit for shooting down Adm. Yamamoto in
1943, meeting Minoru Genda years later.
