Born on July 14, 1922, Robin Olds was a distinguished American fighter pilot. A veteran of World war II and Vietnam, he was credited with 16 kills, making him a triple air ace. He is the only air ace who is also in the American college football hall of fame.
On returning from Vietnam, he was forced to shave his distinctive moustache, leading to a tradition in international air forces known as "moustache March", and indirectly leading to the development of this human rights organisation.
