P-47 pilot Quentin Aaneson´story
"A good fighter pilot, like a good boxer, should have a knockout punch..... You will find one attack you prefer to all others. Work on it till you can do it to perfection... then use it whenever possible."

IIRC there was an entire 2 or 3 hour program on PBS about this chap about 4 or 5 years ago which was very well done. Looks like this video is a montage of excerpts from that program.

Quentin is a fellow Minnesotan, from Luverne Minnesota, I beleive he passed away a year or so ago. His Documentary has been shown on the Local PBS station several times, a little dry, but interesting. Don't recall it being over an hour long.
Quentin was also featured in Ken Burn's PBS Mini-series "The War". I remember in both show they amphasises how his exploits in WWII changed him.
A 2006 study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that Americans drink an average of 22 gallons of beer a year. That means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles per gallon.
