Armstrong in S-116. Lots of celebrities flew Panthers.

Toshiro Mifune was a recon pilot, Bush Sr flew Avengers, Roald Dahl was a fighter pilot.

Dahl was an ace.

>Toshiro Mifune was a recon pilot
As far as I'm aware he never actually piloted planes, he was for a while the photographer in recon planes. His father owned a photography studio in occupied China, so he already knew a thing or two about photography when he was conscripted.

My grandpa flew on wing TRAWING flights with both the splendid splinter and Armstrong. Navy air was flexing hard on the dweebs and gays in the mid >>62534979

Fuck off back to /pol/ you pathetic little cunt

>>62535977
What was /pol/ about his post? I mean if I saw the Norks and communist Chinks doing human waves I'd probably think the whole socialism thing might not work out how Marx thought it would go.

It was a socialist (Clement Atlee) who sent the British troops to Korea.

Kobe Bryant was a certified shooter until he tragically passed in a helicopter crash
>>
>>62536148
Only to please Burgerland and keep the alliance strong. Atlee should've been shot for the Nene.

Communism has NEVER flown here. NEVER. Don't try and do this thing you're doing. Just go back to whatever communist site you come from.

CS Lewis and Tolkien both served in the trenches of WWI.
>>62534952
He seemed reluctant to be in WWII and Korea as a pilot, but his service in both wars helped fuel is fame and he’s a hero to every man above the age of 60. He even had a premium line of guns at Sears named after him.
>>
>>62537931
Ted was unwilling to dodge service even if he could because there was a time when (some) celebrities had dignity. Social media and nonstop news ruined so many things.

Most interesting guy in the world. An example to all manlets that you have a choice to not be a sad cunt.

>>62534952
The fact that James Clavell was captured and tortured by the Japanese, suffered terrible PTSD, but then wrote well-researched historical fiction that didn't demonize Japan is rather incredible.
>>
>>62537940
Not trying to downplay his actions, just found it funny how he was rather reluctant but was still universally praised. Considering he saw plenty of action compared to other celebrities of the other who were either pressed into non-combat roles he gets a mark in my book.
Ted Nugent on the other hand…
>>62537991
He gave a fellow WWII vet and horse gambler an M1 carbine with jungle mags aka “Nigger Gun” during the 1965 Watts riots. He also slept with a 1911 under his pillow.

All wise men do not willingly risk their lives for reasons that do not benefit them.
Makes him more and less based.

This is a very famous Mexican actress that fought in the Spanish civil war

Armstrong got splashed by the rare aerial booby trap in Korea. Very lucky to have survived.
>>62534952
Yeah, I think that was only 2 flights but it's interesting that it happened. Didn't TW get grounded pretty early with a sinus problem?
>>
>>62536148
It was also the Atlee government which gave the engines which made the MiG-15 possible. Fuck him.
