Another WWII story, sorry...
My Fathers Father used to teach flying in Bi-planes (edit/ Tigermoth's I believe) and was also a Pathfinder, when he started to write his memoirs (he died before he could finish them) the only stories were about how many times he crashed his planes. Also when he spotted a fleet of bombers coming to blow up his barracks, he landed his plane alerted everyone then dived under the nearest possible shelter, a petrol tanker. Legend.

My Grandad would have been lethal in a nice straighty-plane
to himself and probably many other allied forces
