For what its worth, I heard tell of a question put to Galland at a fighter pilot symposium about the origins of the Mickey Mouse emblem. Evidently there was hushed expectation, waiting on some great revelation from the man, when he shrugged and said, quite simply, "Well, I just liked Mickey Mouse, thats all!"

This was from someone who was present. I have no reason to doubt his story!
