I'm not sure, but I think this is the guy who shot-down the wingman of Germany's top ace, while at the same time the German ace was shooting-down Mr. Foss' wingman. After Mr. Foss himself was later shot down over France, the German ace "bent" the rules in order to throw Mr. Foss a dinner-party at the German squadron HQ.

I'm not sureI am sure. Foss was a United States Marine pilot fighting the Japs in the South Pacific over Guadalcanal.

I don't think so. I believe that Joe Foss was in the Pacific.

Marine pilot in the European theater? I think not.
