Major Dick Bong was a War War II medal of honor recipient. He was inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame after his efforts in WWII. He is known as one of the greatest Air force pilots of all time credited with shooting down 40 Japanese aircraft. Originally our name was MajorDickBong to honor this great man, however this didn’t follow the naming guidelines so we changed it to MajorBong.
