Very good, you know your history, but i would say that WWII was a little better in historical terms
FIRST
Chuck Yearger was shot down over france and eventually returned to the americans, at that point he should have been send home (after you were shot down u werent allowed to fly) but he begged and was like the only person who was allowed to fly after being shot down (at least in WWII)
Next would be the fact that he is an ace (5 confirmed Kills) not only in WWII but also Korea
Thirdly i would like to point out that he was also one of a select few that Shot down the first German Jet Aircraft
he was also a move star, he played the owner of the bar that He(portrayed by another actor) frequented in the movie 'The Right Stuff'
