Richard Ira Bong (nickname: Bing Bong or Dick) was born in September 1920 and died in August 1945. He was one of the greatest American fighter aces with 40 air victories to his credit. In 1938, the future ace entered high school, during which he completed a pilot course. Two years later, he joined the Aviation Cadet Corps, and in 1942 he graduated from the school, becoming a second lieutenant in the air force. From September 1942, he flew in the 9th Fighter Squadron, fighting mainly over New Guinea. He had his first aerial victory in December 1942, and by November 1943 he had improved his account to 21 air victories. In February 1944 he returned to the front and continued to serve in the Far East. During March-April 1944, he achieved another 7 air victories. He achieved his last, 40th victory, in December 1944 and was then permanently removed from combat flights. He turned out to be the best and most effective USAAF fighter pilot. He flew mainly Lockheed P-38 Lightning machines. After leaving the service, he was an instructor at an aviation school, and later a test pilot. He died as a result of the P-80 Shooting Star plane crash. He was awarded the highest American decoration - the Medal of Honor.
