Awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, which was presented to him by General Douglas MacArthur, Bong was later killed in the crash of an experimental P-80 jet near Los Angeles on August 6, 1945. Signed by Kenney on the half-title. Black cloth binding, lettered in orange on the spine. Jacket price-clipped and a trifle edgeworn, with a half-inch chip to the spine head; otherwise a bright and crisp, very good copy.
