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.

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

Yup word was he did it on purpose,they stopped his bond drive and sent him across the pond to help out with training!
