Duluth Factoid
Richard I. Bong, who earned the title "Ace of Aces" during his stint as a pilot in WWII's Pacific Theatre, was born and raised outside of Superior, Wisconsin. Bong was credited with 40 "kills" during the war, easily making him the Army Air Corps' top fighter pilot. On his best day, July 26, 1943, he shot down four Zeroes while on escort duty over Lae. After tallying three kills on April 12, 1945, he surpassed Captain Edward Rickenbacker's WWI record of 26 kills. Unfortunately, before he could pass his knowledge on to the next generation of aces, Bong died while test piloting a P-80 jet on August 6, 1945, the same day the "Enola Gay" dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima.
