​So I need one right and one wrong?

1)Maynard Smith
2)He googled what to do when under gunfire.

1. Smith was diagnosed with "operational exhaustion" and reassigned to a non-combat position as a private.Discharged USAAF 26 May 1945(Honourable discharge).

2. Smith alternated between shooting at attacking fighters, tending to the wounded and fighting the fire. To starve the fire of fuel, he threw burning debris and exploding ammunition through the large holes that the fire had melted in the fuselage. After the fire extinguishers were exhausted, Smith finally managed to put the fire out, in part by urinating on it.

​I believe this is the correct answer

Congratulations, Najuk! You win with the exact information. I feel like a teacher giving out homework assignments.

Probably next giveaway will be in a couple of days.
