Bob Brulle is an unassuming man and you might never guess he was a pilot in the middle of one of the most epic dogfights of World War II.

Flying a sturdy P-47, which Bob calls a "tank plane," he grazed the ground to help support troops. "We used to fly so low, people on the second floor would be looking down on us as we roared through the streets."

Around the time of the Battle of the Bulge, he and his fellow pilots took on sixty Luftwaffe airplanes in a dogfight directly over their airfield. The History Channel recently aired a documentary on the dogfight, interviewing Bob and describing his role in the battle. The show described the air fight as pivotal in the eventual defeat of the Luftwaffe.

Bob shrugs when asked about how he feels about all this. "I just want to make sure people know my buddies did all this too. I wasn't the only one. I'm just the only one out of the eight P-47s who is still alive."

Bob has a written book about his adventures titled "Angels Zero." The title refers to the low altitude at which he regularly flew. He flew 70 missions and when asked about any close calls, he says, "Every mission was a close call. Gee whiz!"
