I am watching "Dogfights" at the moment and I am struck by something odd. An old man, wearing a Medal of Honor, saying, "I'm no hero." Well, Col. Jefferson DeBlanc USMC, I won't call you a liar...perhaps our definition of hero differs.
The episode is about Guadacanal, and all the old dudes they are interviewing are F4F pilots with the MoH. James Swett is also being humble.
I'm a dedicated simviator and I like the high fidelity slight sims. The F4F from Guadacanal has a lot of trouble with the Zero and Oscar. These guys make it seem easy, it's not. I have all sorts of advantages over the real life situation and I can barely match their achievements. I am cheating and I can't keep up!
