"Ace Pilot"
Zack volunteered for military service during WWII. He had such a high aptitude for aviation that he was sent right to Pensacola skipping boot camp. The very first day at Pensacola he solos and is the best flier on the base. All they could do was give him his gold wings and assign him immediately to an aircraft carrier in the Pacific. On his first day aboard he took off and single- handedly shot down 6 Japanese Zeros. Then climbing up to 20,000 feet he found 10 more Japanese plans and shot them all down, too. Noting that his fuel was getting low, he descended, circled the carrier and came in for a perfect landing on the deck. He threw back the canopy, climbed out and jogged over to the Captain. Saluting smartly, he said, "Well, Sir, how did I do on my very first day?" The Captain replied, "You make one velly impoltant mishtake!!"

And why should japanese pronounce l's instead of r's? I read in a book that japanese had problems pronouncing l's.

That was my point, the accent doesn't make sense... at least not to me... but being the smartypants that I am, I kind of got it that he had landed on enemy ground...

Doesn't explain why the pilot doesn't simply recognise the captain before he's saluting to him, though... You'd expect him to note the difference in appearance and uniform, at least.
