Zimmerman.
he's the guy that came to mind for me as well.
another brief comment - the Russian guys that gave it all for the Chernobyl disaster are *heros* - but this thread is about "who's the best pilot" and to me that's a very different thing. I would suspect that many of the aviators that history regards as "heros" were average pilots, or worse.
