Ah well....no one ever said that we had to be proficient in language
skills in order to fly airplanes or write TV shows. :-)

Without doubt Robin Olds was a pilot and hero of that "Greatest
Generation". He had the skill and tenacity to bring all his experience
to several generations of combat fliers so they could succeed. He was a
leader of men. Unfortunately he had to fight pompous military
bureaucrats flying desks all of his career after WWII.
Robin Olds would understand the respect paid him by those addressing him
as General, however a man of his modesty would prefer to be remembered
as an old P-38 jockey.
