I was in Superior a couple of months ago (for the first time in over 30 years!) and I believe I was told that Bong's plane had been refurbished and was going to be housed somewhere in Superior to make it more accessible. I remember seeing it in Poplar, though, when I was little. kirchie@charter.net wrote: > > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZFC.2ACI/194.3 > > Message Board Post: > > There was Richard Bong who was a big aviation hero in WWII; he was from Poplar and was killed in the war. They had (assume still have) a memorial to him, including the plane he flew - or else it was one just like it.
