I wouldn't say he was a psychopath. More an obsessive perfectionist.

I would class him in the same category as a professional sportsman. An obsessive about his performance, a drive to be the best of his business to the point where his life is consumed by it. It simply happens that his business is aerial combat.

You didn't listen to the recording of his speech did you... The one where he graphically describe his pleasure of blowing enemy pilots' brains out.

I'm tired of being called Anti-American when I have already explained myself a million times

and yes. That was a bit disturbing. But I think he fits more into the category of a high functioning sociopath.

That's the same thing. Psychopath and sociopath are both former definitions of the same mental disorder that is now called "antisocial personality disorder". Beurling, to his credit, found a way to satisfy his personal insanity, not only legally, but performing a great service to his nation. "Dexter of the Skies" as it were... ;)
