Actually wrote a book/pamphlet on tactics and violated three of his main rules on his final flight.
He tried to turn with a Zero, at low speed and low altitude, and didn't release his drop tanks.
It was early in the flight, and he was near-obsessed with equaling and passing Bong's total score of 40. With his flight of 4 P-38s against a single Zero, he was thinking quick kill, then resume hunting. But the Zero was flown by an expert.

Yup
It was kind of surreal seeing a replica static display of "Pudgy" at Joint Base McGuire Dix. Kind of like if you saw a replica of "Marge".
