A truly amazing man who died yesterday aged 97.  If his life story was made into a film you would never believe it and think it pure Hollywood.

Amazing guy, daredevil and yet very down to earth.

I recommend his book http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1299333.Wings_on_My_Sleeve and I really hope they will make a film about him. What a guy!
