Buzz is what they called him in polite company!
I cant find it but there's a nation film board vid of his speech to the ladies aux. he goes on to describe shooting an Italian pilot in the head with a 20mm....
As I said they called him Buzz in polite company,his squad used a slightly different name that I cant repeat here. Still was a terrific pilot and great shot.
:salute

I saw that vid somewhere. The look on his face as he told it was something like this :devil. He knew they were going to be shocked.
