This was a good article. I don't remember where I found the link originally but do not think it was here.

I wouldn't say he is forgotten, maybe just not recognised in America like your aces?

Well I would lean more towards the forgotten side simply because no one truly thinks outside the box of traditional guys like Bong, Boyington, Kepford, et al. Even though he is recognized he isn't mentioned in the same level as those guys nor mentioned as frequently.

That was a good read. Thanks.
