Keith Mallory is the protagonist in Alistair Maclean's book "The Guns of Navarone," the 1961 movie adaptation, and its book/movie sequel "Force 10 from Navarone." A mountaineer from New Zealand who becomes a commando in WWII, he specializes is infiltration and sabotage.
Yes, Mallory sounds about right.*

And before anyone asks for receipts, Eve told me she heard Alice and Bob talking about Gregory Peck's performance.
> how Top Gun is both entertainment and propaganda
The recent conscription of Mr. Cruise to showcase air superiority is an insight tactically granted at the behest of American government as a reaction to international upheaval. A reminder. After the success of "Star Wars", Mr. Ford fulfilled a similar role in a film about infrastructure sabotage (hydroelectric dam and bridge - Force 10 from Navarone).
I always appreciated the Top Gun franchise because there are many scenes showing a large group of people enjoying each other's company.
