Dick Bong - Ace of Aces

This week we take to the skies to follow the life of a boy fascinated by planes that just so happened to become the most lethal pilot in US history. Dick Bong was born in a small Wisconsin town but would join the Army Air Corp right out of college and take the fight to the Imperial Japanese Army behind the sticks of one of the most interesting planes of WWII, the P-38 Lighting. This quiet, shy, reserved midwestern boy would cost the Japanese Air Force so many planes you can't count them on all your fingers and toes. What a wild ride we're in for with this one!
