Biopic of Robin Olds, Triple Ace. Flew P-38's, P-51's, F-86's, and F-4''s. Career spanned from WWII to Vietnam. Married a movie star, and masterminded a brilliant plan called Operation Bolo that took out around half of North Vietman's MiG 21s. Saved a lot of F-105 Thuds. The man was just bad ass. Shot down a Me-109 in his P-38 with engines flamed out. Boss.
Oh and by the way, he was a Maverick. Officers weren't supposed to have facial hair. Did it as a protest to the war being run the wrong way. Kind of partial. He's one of my biggest heroes and influences.
