We must admit that for a fighter ace this guy lived quite a long and a kind of calm life. He lived for 82 years and actually his living wasn't replete only with pleasures of getting medals and trophies of honor. To become a national hero, Eddie had to survive through horrible events such as murder and the two World Wars, but even this challenge didn't leave Eddie broken and he was able to pursue his various hobbies (such as auto-design) after the wars had ended.

Eddie was unbelievably brave and more of foolhardy. Being a charming person and a national hero, he found it easy to start a career of a political speaker and a military consultant. Thus, even during the peace-time he continued to support the country to which he already proved his loyalty in the air – he continued his service, now on Earth and till the time of his death in 1973.
