The fellow climbing out of the cockpit is Herb Fisher, the only civilian to be awarded the USAAF Air Medal during WWII. It was awarded by President Roosevelt during a special White House ceremony. Herb did a tremendous amount of high speed dive testing just after the war in a P-47. One of the country's more accomplished test pilots in his day....

Charted flight data from one of Herb's 150+ test dives.... Deliberately diving into full compressibility over 150 times took some nerve....
