ALEXANDER DE SEVERSKY!
I had no idea he had time to write books between selling P-35s to Chiang Kai-Shek and embezzling contract money to fund his air racing operation. It all turned out for the better though, given that he and Kartveli eventually turned out the Thunderbolt, Thunderjet, and Thunderchief, respectively the most underappreciated fighters of WWII, Korea, and Vietnam.
Anyway it is just weird to hear his name, especially upon the lips of Leonard Maltin.
