America's
Ace of Aces, Maj. Richard Ira Bong
|

Bong
is credited with 40 aerial victories and was awarded the Congressional
Medal of Honor by Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Unfortunately, Bong
was killed while testing Lockheed's new P-80 Jet fighter in
6 Aug. 1945. Bong's sweethert Marge Vattendahl, had given him
a wallet size graduation photo and had it blown up to fit on
the nose of his P-38 along with the name "Marge" in
script painted red with a white outline. The photo was black
and white, tinted with dyes for a colorized look. With Marge
Bong Drucker's permission, we were given a copy of that same
photo and recreated this exact look for our panels. The panels
were signed on 11 September,1999 and partial proceeds will help
fund the new Richard I. Bong Heritage Center in Superior, WI.
