October 25, 1984 – “The Bong Bridge opened connecting Duluth and Superior, Wisconsin.
Fighter pilot Richard I. Bong for whom the bridge was named, was born in
Superior [Wis.]. Test pilot Bong died August 6, 1945, in an airplane explosion
in California. He shot down 40 enemy planes during WWII that made him America's
top ace.”
