Apparently he also stole an FW 190

"He managed to escape from the prison camp, stole a FW-190 (or so the legend goes), and flew to safety in the Netherlands."

I saw him do that at the Mojave Air Races in 1978. He came to a stop right in front of the grandstand with both engines out...

Sounds like a scene from "The Great Escape"

He was railroaded by a couple of FAA jerks who had it in for him. I think he eventually won but just doesn't fly anymore because of insurance reasons.

A guy in Afton Wyoming owns "Ole Yeller," his old P-51.
