That it was a recent picture is obvious, and Dick Bong died in a crash the day of the Hiroshima bomb in August 1945.

I was just trying to bring Bong's name into the discussion as the famous P-38 pilot, but I see someone beat me to it.

Oh. In that case, here's a totally gratuitous picture

of Dick Bong and the lovely Marjorie. In a P-38, of course.

Gotta have the P-38.

This is an airplane thread; standards must be maintained.
