Appreciate the corrections, and I have a feeling Gen. Olds would have liked the break glass quip. I think it's also worth adding that he thought highly of the British and enjoyed his time as an RAF squadron leader, which does tend to put me in mind of another even more famous American fighter pilot of the same era who as an Englishman I once had the misfortune to meet....
One last mention, and only since it made such an obvious impression on him. Gen. Olds was a chronic piles sufferer, brought about by g straining and the suchlike. He eventually had them operated on and claimed that the subsequent pain during recovery was the worst he had ever experienced in his life. He referred to it as the "Fighter Pilot's Disease" - so take care you young Typhoon pilots.
I think I once asked about Highcokalorum in a prior thread, but a reminder would be appreciated - how exactly does one play it ?
