They were two of the greatest heroes of World War II. But only one
could be top gun...
Capturing the hearts of a beleaguered nation, the fighter pilots
of World War II engaged in a kind of battle that became the stuff
of legend-and those who survived showdowns earned the right to be
called aces. But two men in particular rose to become something
more.
Richard "Dick" Bong was a bashful, pink-faced farm boy from the
Midwest. Thomas "Tommy" McGuire was a wise-cracking, fast-talking
kid from New Jersey. What they shared was an unparalleled gallantry
under fire which earned them each the Medal of Honor.
What they had between them was a closely watched rivalry to see
who would emerge as the top-scoring American ace of the war. What
they left behind is a legacy and a record of aerial victories that
has yet to be surpassed anywhere in the world.
