Major Richard I. Bong died too young.

79 years since Richard I. Bong Died

He had a winning smile, our Ace of Aces.

We are remembering Major Richard Bong today, August 6th, 79 years after his passing on this date.

This amazing young man sacrificed all and soared off too soon.

We like this image of him, soaking up the sun, and smiling.
