Famous WW2 Quote
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill

Those photos of bong circulating on the internet don't seem to be correct.The san diego air and space museum archives has a photo of the same man except he is in Europe in 1943, his name is apparently "Old Bill", he is a B-17 pilot,and he is engaged to a woman named 2nd lt. Marion mclelland.(photo4562049972_6aa165eb26_o.jpg) Plus I have a book, and have read other books, with a photo of Bong in his p-38 and neither the plane nor bong resemble the photo on your website,. I wonder what Bong could have done to have his whole career swept under the carpet and history become so distorted.
