Richard Ira Bong (24 September 1920 – 6 Agustus 1945) adalah seorang tentara Angkatan Udara Amerika Serikat dengan pangkat Mayor yang menerima penghargaan militer tertinggi Amerika Serikat, Medal of Honor, atas aksinya di Kalimantan dan Leyte pada tanggal 19 Oktober - 15 November 1944.

Kehidupan dan karier

Ia lahir di Superior, Wisconsin pada tanggal 24 September 1920. Ia bergabung dengan Angkatan Udara pada 1941. Pada masa Perang Dunia 2, ia dikirim untuk bertempur melawan pasukan Jepang. Ia tidak terluka dalam pertempuran tersebut dan karena jasa-jasanya, ia mendapatkan penghargaan Medal of Honor dari pemerintah Amerika Serikat, sebagai bentuk penghargaan tertinggi atas aksinya yang luar biasa berani dan melampaui tugas yang diberikan kepadanya.[1]

Medal of Honor

Atas rekomendasi Jenderal Kenney, Komandan Angkatan Udara Timur Jauh Amerika Serikat menerima Medal of Honor dari Jenderal Douglas MacArthur dalam upacara khusus pada bulan Desember 1944. Kutipan Medal of Honor milik Bong mengatakan bahwa dia melakukan misi tempur meskipun berstatus sebagai instruktur, yang merupakan salah satu tugasnya sebagai petugas standardisasi untuk Komando Tempur V. Pangkat mayornya akan membuatnya memenuhi syarat untuk menjadi komando skuadron, tetapi dia selalu terbang sebagai pemimpin penerbangan (empat pesawat) atau elemen (dua pesawat).[2]
