Picked up Secret Weapons Over Normandy for the X-Box the other day.  It's a WWII airplane game.  There is a mission in the Pacific inwhich one of your wingmen is named Bush.  Minor character but every so often over the radio he shouts out "GOD BLESS AMERICA!!"  Thought it was funny.

Sort of historically accurate.  Senior Bush flew a navy bomber in the war.  It was shot down over Iwo Chima.  He was rescued by a submarine.  His crewmate was captured by the Japanese, one of eight US naval aircrew to meet their destiny on that island, and beheaded.

Indeed, if I remember my WWII aircraft well enough (I was big into them about 10 years ago), Bushie Sr. flew in a Grumman TBD Avenger, a plane that served as a light bomber (1000 lb. max. payload) and torpedo plane. Went into service in about 1943 to become the most used torpedo plane in the Pacific.
