Frits Forrer, raised in Holland during World War ll, almost lost his life when while stealing supplies from the Germans when he broke into a building with a blind bomb waiting inside for him. Later on, he found the bomb, detonated it in a nearby lake, and used it to his advantage to catch fish. In 1953, after migrating to the United States, Forrer earned his Silver Wings as fighter-bomber. Lionel Haynes Jr /The Corsair
