WW2 Ace, Richard Bong's Plane, 'Marge' Wreckage Possibly Found, So. Pacific; MoH Award MacArthur

1. Looking forward to visting the Bong Museum in the near future. We live within easy driving distant to the museum. On....

.... the drive to the museum we pass through his hometown, where he is buried. We have visited the burial site in a small hometown cemetery.

Rumor in our town has it that he flew the whole length of Main Street with one wing tip down (like a knife's edge).
When we moved here, the WW II vets from the town swore it was a true story.

The town still gets a USAF flyover from the nearby Air National Guard Unit each year during the 4th of July parade.
