It's 1944, the skies over New Guinea. Captain Richard "Dick" Ira Bong is the country's top flying ace in the WWII, well known for taking down 40 Japanese aircraft. He and his partner, Major Thomas Lynch, participate in the ace race. They are hunting Japanese planes in the hope of surpassing their nearest rival, Colonel Neel Kearby, and breaking Eddie Rickenbacker's WWI record of 26 victories. But fate has other plans: it turns a professional competition into a deeply personal drama.

There's this feeling of slight goosebumps when i realized that Colonel Kearby also appeared in a separate Yarnhub video 3 years ago about his wingman, Bill Dunham, who gave his life jacket to a stricken Japanese airmen. There's also something poetic with how Bong lost his wingman, while Dunham lost his leader. Both men lost someone close to them, yet they continued fighting and ended up earning a spot in History for different deeds.

When Bong was sent home to do a bond tour, the pilot who was with him who also been sent home was Robert Johnson, who was the first 8th Air Force pilot to exceed 26 kills. Bong didn't survive the war. After being sent home for good, the AAF had him test flying the new P-80 Shooting Star Jet aircraft. On August 6, 1945, the day the A-Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Bong was killed test flying a P-80.

@jmfa57 3 ай бұрын

Chuck Yeager wrote about that in his book. Bong, for all his ferocity and prowess as a fighter pilot, was not the best technician, and didn't take as much time as he might have to understand the various systems in the planes he flew the way that Yeager did. Dick Bong's loss was tragic.

Richard "Dick" Ira Bong was a United States Army Air Forces major and Medal of Honor recipient in World War II. He was one of the most decorated American fighter pilots and the country's top flying ace in the war, credited with shooting down 40 Japanese aircraft, all with the Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter. He died in California while testing a Lockheed P-80 jet fighter shortly before the war ended. Bong was posthumously inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame in 1986 and has several commemorative monuments named in his honor around the world, including an airport, two bridges, a theater, a veterans historical center, a recreation area, a neighborhood terrace, and several avenues and streets, including the street leading to the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio

I would love it if Yarnhub did a video on the Monchy 9 of Newfoundland. 9 men of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment positioned at Monchy-le-Preux during the Battle of Arras in 1917 hid behind shrubbery and defended the town from a German force anywhere from 200 - 300 men strong for 11 hours to prevent a German break through. I think it is a very cool and very underrated battle that sounds like the plot of a movie.
