#OTD Robin Olds Birthday, 1922...Olds was a legend in the Air Force. He had been an All-American football player at West Point, was an ace in World War II with 13 victories, and married the glamorous movie actress Ella Raines. He was the quintessential fighter pilot. As he put it: “Bombers drop bombs. Fighter pilots fight. It was simply the way it was meant to be.” #AirForce #USAF #Airman #SpaceForce #Guardian
