Shooting Star

[Second Air Force]

I also did not find info, not even register letters or serials of his final plane.

Major Bong was killed on a factory/USAAF acceptance flight. The airplane was P-80A 44-85048, and I would suppose it was in the light grey paint scheme common to the very early P-80s.
