Event Details

presented by Mike O'Connor, author.

Over 60,000 American fighter pilots flew combat in World War I, World War II, Korea, or Vietnam. Of that number, only 1,440 pilots scored five aerial victories, therein becoming "aces". Forty of those fighter aces were born in Wisconsin.

Copies of Mr. O'Connor's books will be available for purchase at the end of the presentation.
