'''George Herbert Walker Bush''' (June 12, 1924 - November 30, 2018) was the 41st President of the United States. In his earlier life, he had been a [[World War II]] [[Ace Pilot|naval aviator]] (and for a time was the youngest one), completing one mission with an [[Coming in Hot|aircraft on fire]]. He also spent a year as Director of the CIA. He is the father of the ''other'' President Bush, [[George W. Bush]].
Known as "George Bush" while in office, H. W. was [[Ronald Reagan]]'s Vice-President and largely ran - and won - as Reagan's third term. This campaign featured three memorable moments - the [[Scary Black Man|Willie Horton]] ads, [[Dan Quayle]] being told he is not [[John F. Kennedy|someone else]], and Democratic candidate Michael Dukakis attempting to look tough by riding a tank but instead looking horribly out-of-place.
