I don't have access to YouTube, but years ago I read his autobiography. Great reading, sad ending.

There was also a TV series about his WW II service, which was quite entertaining. I was especially amused by the episodes beginnings/endings. They showed the pilot in his aircraft, with the other members of his flight forming up behind him. Most episodes showed the F4U Corsair...Except the first episode, which described his leaving Gen Claire Chennault's Flying Tigers and joining a Marine squadron...That episode showed the correct P-40 Warhawk that Chennault's airmen flew...

Other than that, I can't recall anything about the series...
