OK, this famous US naval aviator was also an accomplished author and screenwriter. Name him, at least two of his contributions to aviation and aerial combat; and his most famous screenplay, and the real name of the officer portrayed in the resulting movie. That may, or may not, keep people busy. :pop:

Only once in modern history has an aircraft made a bow on , downwind approach landing on a US aircraft carrier.
When? , what ship? and what type of aircraft?
"Another first was racked up by USS FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT when, on 4 October 1976, the first overseas operational commitment on a carrier for the AV-8A Harrier began when VMA-231 embarked aboard for a Sixth Fleet deployment. On 13 January 1977, two other Harriers made bow-on approaches and landing aboard the carrier, marking the first time a fixed wing aircraft had made a bow-on, downwind landing aboard a carrier at sea."

This is probably an easy one for some of you, but here goes: what privately-owned aircraft still holds the official low-level (<100m) speed record for an air-breathing aircraft set in 1977?
What aircraft, and who was the pilot?"There is never enough time to do or say all the things that we would wish. The thing is to try to do as much as you can in the time that you have. Remember Scrooge, time is short, and suddenly, you're not there any more." -Ghost of Christmas Present, Scrooge
