44-63963 Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share #4 Posted August 6, 2021 Thank you for sharing a photo and front page article about Major Bong. Would love to have showed a few personal items of Major Bong, but unable to attach photos on this site. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundance Posted August 6, 2021 Share #5 Posted August 6, 2021 An amazing flyer. Were all his victories in a P-38? Didn't they say he wasn't the best shot but he got so close to his victims he overcame that issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
