Even though he didn't actually sink a battleship, Colin Kelly remains a hero for remaining at the stick of his burning bomber and enabling the crew to escape. This hit tune from WWII places him in the pantheon of American heroes along with George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, George A. Custer, Oliver H. Perry and Nathan Hale.

I remember hearing about Colin Kelly when I was very young in the early 50s. He was still remembered back then.
