I knew Goldie would kick somebody's memory into gear.

Dan Rowan (on the left) with Dick Martin:

Daniel Hale “Dan” Rowan (22 July 1922 – 22 September 1987) was an American comedian. He was featured in the television show Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, where he played straight man to Dick Martin.
This came as a real surprise:During World War II, Rowan served as a fighter pilot in the United States Army Air Forces.
He flew Curtiss P-40s and scored two kills against Japanese aircraft before he was shot down and seriously wounded over New Guinea. His military awards and decorations include the Distinguished Flying Cross with Oak Leaf Cluster, the Air Medal, and the Purple Heart.
(From what I've been able to find, he spent quite some time avoiding Japanese forces while seriously wounded before finally reaching friendly forces)
