As for Lindbergh, you should read his War Diary, as a
civilian working for Henry Ford as a tech rep, he flew
combat in the Pacific and if I remember the details, would
have been an Ace. He also was a war criminal and if the
Japanese had captured him he would have be executed, since
he was not in the military.

This is covered quite well in Martin Caidin's outstanding book about the
P-38 Lightning, "Fork-Tailed Devil."

Lindbergh was just an amazing man, living in an amazing time.
