Anyone who has any interest in aviation should read his autobiography. Lot of great stories of flying combat and early days of flight test at Edwards.
I think he mentioned he could see enemy fighters minutes before anybody else and his friend Bud Anderson could also, Both were aces multiple times,
Remembered an interview he had where he was talking about that shoot down. He came up behind an ME262 that had its landing gear down preparing to land. From his P51 he opened up with his six 50s, watched the rounds hit the jet and it spiraled out of control hitting the ground. He said it wasn’t very sporting but what the hell it was war.
