I understand the meaning 'ACES'. My opinion is this man: Jimmy Doolittle. Doolittle was one of the most famous pilots during the inter-war period. In September 1922, Doolittle made the first of many pioneering flights. He flew a DeHavilland DH-4 - which was equipped with pioneering navigational instruments - in the first cross-country flight, from Pablo Beach, Florida, to San Diego, California, in 21 Hours and 19 Minutes, making only one refueling stop at Kelly Field. The US Army gave him a Distinguished Flying Cross for this historic feat. Following this, Doolittle was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree by the University of California, even though he had never finished his studies after leaving the university to enlist during World War I. http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Jimmy_Doolittle http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Jimmy_Doolittle Mar 05 06, 10:11 PM
