American Pilot and Leaders

[CP_Admin]

Dear Pilots,

Feel free to share any information, resources or references about American Pilots and Leaders that fought in the Pacific Theater 1941-1945. We have great references, but could always use more.

Thanks in advance!

Oh lordy, where to start. 

First off, one of my most treasured books. Written in 1944 by Major Thomas McGuire, it is a treasure trove of information. 
Bong may have been the foremost American Ace and a gifted fighter pilot, but McGuire was definitely the better combat leader.
