this post is about the possible most epic person in human history: christopher lee. so why is he the most epic person in human history? simply: he was asked by peter jackson during the production of the lord of the rings if he could imagine how a man sounds that get stabbed in the back. his reply: why should i imagine this? i know how it sounds. during the scond world war he was a member of a special forces unit for ungentelmanly warfare ontop of all of these fact was his ability to learn laguages purely phonetic (by hearing them) here is a example from the german version of the last unicorn: Christopher Lee - König Haggard (Zusammenstellung) jupp that realy him go to the wikipedia page and change the page to german.
@F104Deathtrap thats very impresive. he has tacken his place in the pantheon of guys that chuck norris needs to ask if he wanted to use the bathroom.
@Irobert55 The Raid. Ha. Yeah, I mean he only got a Congressional Medal of Honor for it. Anyway, how about his brief stint as the fastest man on earth, or the multiple world championships he won as a pylon and distance racer of both land and seaplanes? Or the fact that he pioneered reliable cockpit instruments by taking off, flying a route and landing a plane with the windows completely blacked out? Or the fact that he graduated UCLA with the first doctorate of aeronautics ever awarded in the USA? Or his command of the 8th Airforce in WW2? Or his career as a test pilot?
Seriously, I'm not trying to be mean or obnoxious here, I just think people don't understand the amazing impact thia guy had on flying.
@F104Deathtrap the doolitle raid was a big thing but i dotn think that he realy get this place because it was only one thing that he did to try for this place. also i am not shure if the complete plan was his work.
Jimmy Doolittle
