I'd follow this guy anywhere. Most battle speeches filmed during WWII look stilted. Not this one by Philip "Flip" Cochran. This clip from "Silent Wings", depicts him preparing his glider pilots to face their worst fear.

Cochran distinguished himself as a daring pilot commanding P-40 fighter planes in N. Africa and as the colorful leader of the 1st Air Commandos during the invasion of Burma. He became a colonel at the age of 33 and earned such honors as the Distinguished Service Medal and British Distinguished Service Order. The Erie native inspired cartoon characters Flip Corkin in “Terry and the Pirates" and Gen. Philerie in “Steve Canyon."
