Re: American Aces Died in 2008
WANG Kuang-Fu, 8.5 (6.5 documented), July 8, 2008, Plano, Texas
ROSS, Herbert Erskine, 7, July 20, 2008, Stockton, California
TORDOFF, Harrison Bruce, 5, July 24, 2008, St Paul, Minnesota
HAYES, Thomas Lloyd Jr, 8.5, July 24, 2008, Reston, Virginia
RIP.
Wang is not really an American ace, being born in China, and serving in the Chinese Air Force in World War 2. However, all his victories were claimed while in the Chinese-American Composite Wing, so I have included him as serving directly beside Americans. He lived in the United States since the mid-50s.
