American Fighter Ace, Cmdr. William Robert โ€˜Bobโ€™ Maxwell USNR describes his shoot downs. He flew the F4F Wildcat with VF-11 "Sundowners" and F6F Hellcat with VF-51. October 17, 1944, Bob downed a Tony at sea off Luzon for a final tally of seven kills plus one probable. His combat engagements involved Guadalcanal, Marcus and Wake Islands, The Marianas, Palau, Bonin Islands, Luzon, Formosa, Battle of the Philippine Sea, Jima and Iwo Jima. Bob passed away in 2016, but you can hear more of his stories in my feature length documentary "ELEVEN" here on this channel.

One day as a contractor for roofing I was in a condo in Fort Lauderdale going up the elevator with my tools as everything had gone wrong that day. and an elderly man stepped on TO the elevator and said how are you doing, I almost always say Iโ€™m doing good but that day I just let go and said Iโ€™m having a terrible day! He rolled up his long sleeve shirt and showed me the numbers that were tattooed on his arm from being a prisoner of the Germans in World War II , that was a bad day he replied I swallowed my hurt. pride or whatever you wanna call it and I said yes sir and Iโ€™ve never thought that way again. my day Changed my thinking. I think I can. I know I can!! . 40 years later

I had the opportunity as a kid to meet many veterans and when I asked them what war they were in most world war one veterans would get angry and I did not understand. Later on they would say the great one. All of them look like old men so I didnโ€™t know. But World War II veterans are the most honest honorable sweetest humblest people youโ€™ll ever meet if you get a chance before theyโ€™re all gone

The difference was American pilots didnโ€™t strafe parachuting pilots but the Japanese sure did.

Pilots then are braver than today's.... ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜โœŒ๏ธthey fought eye to eye than today's dogfights that can fire their weapons even a miles away even not seeing the enemy.... ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
