Here are some of the most famous aviators that came out of World War II and they've never put a nickel in their pocket for notoriety," he said. Instead, he said, any money from book signings and appearances has always gone to the James H. Doolittle Scholarship Fund for aviation students.



It saddens me to think that the type of character of those men from that era is so much higher than the men of today.

Most anyway. Our Country will suffer for it also
