by Bill Yenne
They were two of the greatestheroes of World War II. Butonly one could be top gun...
Capturing the hearts of a beleaguered nation, thefighter pilots of World War II engaged in a kindof battle that became the stuff of legend-andthose who survived showdowns earned the rightto be called aces. But two men in particular roseto become something more. They became iconsof aerial combat, in a heroic rivalry that inspired aweary nation to fight on.
Richard "Dick" Bong was the bashful, pink-facedfarm boy from the Midwest. Thomas "Tommy"McGuire was the wise-cracking, fast-talkingkid from New Jersey. What they shared was anunparalleled gallantry under fire which earned themeach the Medal of Honor.
What separated them was a closely watched rivalryto see who would emerge as the top-scoringAmerican ace of the war. What they left behind is alegacy and a record of aerial victories that has yet tobe surpassed anywhere in the world.
