"You're fired!" - WWII ace, hero and American legend Joe Foss

Aviation artist, writer and filmmaker John Mollison interviews Joe Foss — an inimitable voice of the rugged, uniquely American, ideal.

In this video, Joe describes how he was relieved of command... but then describes in detail, the tactics used by both Japanese and American pilots in the grueling air battles over Guadalcanal.

Joe's sense of leadership is readily apparent.

This video was captured in October of 2002 and edited in 2024.

NOTE: Please accept my apologies for the less-than-excellent audio and video quality; the camera that I had available wasn't the greatest and my intent was to get the audio for archival sake rather than rely on my (oft) horrible handwriting...
