When some guy named Charles Lindbergh flew several missions with his unit. FDR despised Lindbergh due to his very public anti-war activism leading up to our entry into WWII. When the US entered the war, Lindbergh desperately wanted to serve, and found a way to fly P-38s in the Pacific. It was done very quietly with no fanfare. FDR made it known that Lindbergh was absolutely not to serve, but Lindbergh found a way.
