In WWII, a fighter pilot had to shoot down five enemy planes to be considered an ace. Chuck Yeager shot down five in a single day. This was after he was shot down over France, evaded capture, linked up with the Maquis and escaped to Spain, which earned him a ticket home that he refused. That was just the start to his long career in military aviation before retiring as a brigadier general. chuckyeager/
