I'm perplexed by riding trees. Did it look like this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IhtKsrLciI …
Jan 9, 1941 – Adolf Hitler orders Luftwaffe FW 200 Condor to support German U-boats in the Atlantic Ocean. I was still in high school, huntin' squirrels in the morning, taking cows out to pasture, riding trees in the forest, visiting Grandpa @WVGovernor #Hitler #WWII @TIME

No. In his books it's described as getting up in the top of pine trees and swaying back and forth until you can jump to an adjacent tree. Once in rhythm a person could travel across the forest quickly. Read the books "Yeager" and "Press On"

That’s so bizarre thinking of you like that....considering the effect you had only a few years later

If we had a few more guys like Chuck Yeager, the war would have been over in a year!

My dad did the same thing- deer hunting on weekends, worked the cornfield and cows upstate NY, left at 17 went infantry. Switched in 1950 to USMC, became one of the Chosin chosen. Like you, some heroes know when/how to be heroes.
