I think it was actually George H. W. Bush who was a much better pilot (won a Distinguished Flying Cross in WWII). I've never seen enough about GWB to convince me htat his flying skill was ever tested in any meaningful way. They might as well say *I'm* a better pilot, as I've never crashed an airplane either. (I have something like a whopping 200 hours flying time.)
Not that that makes the rest of the story wrong, but it does make me wonder a little about accuracy and slant. No matter; the stories in it I already did know (the temper issues, the flip-flop on torture, a few others) were already plenty convincing.
