I say that he was a true hero for America and for aviation. He did no matter what he had to do to make sure he helped advance aviation. He was a true hero for aviation because he worked and risked his life multiple times not just for his fame but so aviation could continue to grow.

He did all he could to help aviation because that is what he believed very deeply in.
