"Wings on my sleeve"

flew more types than any other pilot in history(487 types), 2407 carrier deck landings (world record) flew a Sikorsky R-4B helicopter with instruction solely from reading a manual, the world's first landing of a jet aircraft on an aircraft carrier,commanded the Enemy Aircraft Flight, an elite group of pilots who test-flew captured German aircraft. What he hasn't done aint worth doing in the air!!! worth a read
