Just for those who don't know: Maj. Bong was the highest scoring American ace of WWII with 40 (IIRC) kills. He mostly flew the P-38 in combat and was killed test-flying the P-80 shortly after the war.

In my hometown we have two bridges crossing the harbour. One is named after this guy, "the bong bridge". The other is the "high bridge".
