Just for those who don’t know: Maj. Bong was the highest scoring American ace of WWII with 40 (IIRC) kills. He mostly flew the P-38 in combat and was killed test-flying the P-80 shortly after the war.

In my hometown we have two bridges crossing the harbour. One is named after this guy, “the bong bridge”. The other is the “high bridge”.

So we have the bong and the high bridge.

There’s a state park in Wisconsin named Richard Bong…
