This small group of pilots deserves allot of credit. A recently published book "59 Days on Starvation Island" is about the first two squadrons on Guadicanal.
My two cents says let the man speak from the begenning of his service to the end,instead of jumping around to different stories.Most interviewers take that position of begenning to end.That way the story makes more sense.
If your going to do an "interview"-with these Gentlemen,-please "bone-up"-on the Subject,-you had a "rare-chance"-with Veteran,-of the'Cactus air force"-at guadalcanal-fo christ sake,--these guys held line,in the Pacific against-Real Zero pilots,-that were the best !!-at least find out what an "airplane looks like"-& where the "pacific-ocean is"on the map !!-and let the Guy tell His Story--("what's an outside loop??-for Christ-Sake)

I can tell the interviewers dont know much about the pacific war.These soldiers are playing dumb while answering the questions.
