Description:
Doug Benefield Was A Test Pilot Who Was Considered The Best By His Peers. He Spent More Time In The B-1 Than Any Other Pilot. He Is Shown With The Cigar And The Casual Attitude Because That Is How He Was Most Comfortable--He Hated Hero Poses. I Interviewed Several People Who Knew Him And Discovered That This Quiet Hero Was Loved By Everyone Who Came In Contact With Him. All Agree--He Was Never Without A Cigar.
